*Little Biscuits
¹⁄₂ lb. flour
2 eggs
¹⁄₄ lb. butter
¹⁄₄ lb. powdered sugar
A small tea-spoonful baking powder
A small wine-glass of sherry
Put the flour, sugar and baking powder into a basin and stir well together. Rub in the butter and add the well beaten eggs. Mix with the wine into a paste just firm enough to roll out on a paste-board. Cut out in little rounds with a small wine-glass. Bake on a floured tin until a delicate colour, like nicely baked pastry.
