• 1 teaspoonful of soda
• 2 teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar
• piece of lard or butter the size of an egg
• 1 large cup of milk or water

Instructions

Mix the soda, cream of tartar, and salt with the flour, having first mashed them fine, and sift all together twice. Rub the shortening in with the hands till perfectly fine. Add the milk; mix and roll out as quickly as possible; cut in rounds, and bake in a quick oven.
