Baking Powder Biscuit

Ingredients

• 1 pint of flour
• 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
• 1 heaping tablespoon of butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• sweet milk

Instructions

To flour, add baking powder; sift together; add butter, and salt. Use enough sweet milk to make a very soft mixture. Work the butter through the milk in the center of flour.

Do not roll out on board, as the mixture is too soft, but make out by hand as you would light rolls. Avoid kneading.

Bake in quick oven.
