Brown Biscuit. Maltese Cross
2 cups Graham flour.
1 cup white flour.
1 cup milk.
2 table-spoonfuls brown sugar.
4 table-spoonfuls home-made yeast, or half as much brewer’s.
1 great spoonful melted butter.
1 teaspoonful salt.
½ teaspoonful soda, dissolved in hot water.
Set a dough made of all the ingredients except the butter and soda, to rise over night. In the morning, add these; knead quickly, roll into a sheet half an inch thick, cut with a cake-cutter; range in the baking-pan. When it is full, set on the warm hearth ten minutes before baking.
