Minute Biscuit, (Brown.) Maltese Cross
2 cups Graham flour.
1 cup white flour.
2 table-spoonfuls mixed butter and lard.
1 table-spoonful light-brown sugar.
3 cups milk, or enough for soft dough.
1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in hot water.
2 teaspoonfuls cream tartar, sifted in flour.
1 teaspoonful salt.
Chop the shortening into the flour; add sugar and salt, at last the milk in which the soda has been put. Roll out, with as little handling as may be, into a rather thick sheet. Cut into round cakes; prick with a fork, and bake immediately in a brisk oven.
These biscuits are very good and wholesome.
