Baking Powder Biscuits #2

From a

1911

cook book

"""""""""""""""

.

4 c. Flour

2 tsp. (heaping) Baking Powder

1 tsp. Salt

2 tsp. (even) Lard, or Butter

some Sweet Milk to moisten

.

Place the Salt in the Flour,

which should be measured before being sifted;

stir well, add the Baking Powder, and sift again.

Rub the Lard (or Butter) into the Flour,

using the back of a spoon;

and when thoroughly mixed,

add enough Milk to moisten.

.

The Dough should be so damp that it will not

stick to the board.

Mold the Dough a moment,

sprinkling the board with Flour;

and when it forms a smooth ball,

roll it out an inch thick,

cut it into cakes with a small round cutter,

and place these in an ungreased tin.

.

Bake 30 minutes in a moderately quick oven.
