Tea Biscuit

Ingredients

• 1/4 pound of fresh butter
• 1 quart of warm milk
• 1 salt-spoonful of salt
• 2 pounds of flour
• 3 table-spoonfuls of the best brewer's yeast

Instructions

Melt the butter in the warm milk, and add salt. Sift flour into a pan, make a hole in the centre, and put in the brewer's yeast. Add the milk and butter and mix it into a stiff paste. Cover it and set it by the fire to rise. When quite light, knead it well, roll it out an inch thick, and cut it into round cakes with the edge of a tumbler. Prick the top of each with a fork; lay them in buttered pans and bake them light brown. Send them to table warm, and split and butter them.
