Directions
Two quarts of flour, three eggs, beaten separately ; little more than a pint of warm, sweet milk ; teacup of sugar, teacup of yeast, large iron spoon of lard, and a little salt. Make into dough, and work well. Let it rise. If you want the biscuit for tea, make up early in the morning, and about four o'clock work again. Roll out thin, and cut into biscuits ; lard on one side, and lay another on that already greased with lard ; let them rise again. Bake in rather a quick oven.
