Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 pint of flour
• 1 heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
• 4 tablespoonfuls of melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoonful salt
• white of an egg beaten
• 1 cup of milk

Instructions

Sift into a pint of flour baking powder, melted butter, salt and the egg white and milk; mix it with more flour, enough to make a very stiff dough, as stiff as can be rolled out; pounded and kneaded a long time. Roll very thin like pie crust and cut out either round or square. Bake a light brown.

Stale crackers are made crisp and better by placing them in the oven a few moments before they are needed for the table.
