Biscuit with Baking Powder, Quickly Made.
Flour, 31/2 cups; baking powder, 3 tea-spoonfuls; butter, or nice lard, 1 table-spoonful (rounding); sweet milk. Directions—Stir the baking powder into the flour and sift; work in the butter smoothly; then use milk enough to have a soft dough; mold into biscuit by using flour, dusting freely; bake in a hot oven at once.
Remarks, —Do not knead biscuit made with baking powder, nor make them stiff, in this lies the secret of making nice light biscuit with baking powder, so says "my good woman, " and she knows from an experience of 40 years of married life. In cold weather the butter will work in easier, if warmed. Water may take the place of milk by doubling the amount of butter or lard, to make then equally rich.
