Directions:
To one pint of flour, add two teaspoonfuls of baking powder; sift together; add one heaping tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt.
Use enough sweet milk to make a very soft mixture. Work the butter through the milk in the center of flour. Do not roll out on board, as the mixture is too soft, but make out by hand as you would light rolls. Avoid kneading. Bake in quick oven.
