1 pound of flour
1 / 2 of a pound of castor sugar
1 / 4 of a pound of fresh butter
2 eggs
1 small teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda
Put the flour into a clean basin.
Rub in the butter and sugar, make a hole in the center, break the eggs and beat them up
well with a wire egg whisk.
Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in a little water, turn all the ingredients together into the
hole and wet up into rather a soft paste, using a little milk if necessary.
Turn out on to the board, dry over and roll down in sheet as about 1 / 4 of an inch thick.
Cut out with a small plain round cutter, set on to clean greased baking plates and bake in a warm oven.
Cooking time from 12 to 18 minutes
