Breakfast Rolls Recipe

Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

Mix well by sifting together half a pound of flour,

(cost two cents,) a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, a level

teaspoonful of salt, and a heaping teaspoonful of sugar, (cost one

cent;) rub into a little of the above one ounce of lard, (cost one

cent,) mix it with the rest of the flour, and quickly wet it up with

enough cold milk to enable you to roll it out about half an inch thick,

(cost two cents;) cut out the dough with a tin shape or with a sharp

knife, in the form of diamonds, lightly wet the top with water, and

double them half over. Put them upon a tin, buttered and warmed, and

bake them in a hot oven. This receipt will cost about six cents, and

will make about nine good sized rolls.
