| 1 quart flour | 1 teaspoonful baking soda |
| 2 tablespoonfuls Crisco | 1 teaspoonful baking powder |

| 1 teaspoonful salt | 3/4 pint buttermilk |
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together, then rub in Crisco with finger tips, add egg well beaten, and soda mixed with milk. Dough should be soft and little more milk can be added if needed. Roll out lightly and handle as little as possible. Cut with biscuit cutter, lay on Criscoed tins and bake in hot oven ten minutes.
