Sweet Biscuits Recipe

Rub four ounces of butter, (cost eight cents,) into one

pound of flour, (cost four cents;) dissolve four ounces of sugar, (cost

three cents,) in half a pint of warm milk, (cost two cents.) Pour this

into the flour, mixing it smoothly; then dissolve half a level

teaspoonful of cream of tartar in one gill of cold water, and stir it

into the above ingredients. When they are thoroughly mixed, roll out the

paste about quarter of an inch thick, cut it out in small round cakes,

and bake them golden brown, at once, in a quick oven. A good supply will

cost about seventeen cents.
