Beat 1 cup of sugar with ½ cup of butter to a cream; add 2 beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, ½ cup of milk and the grated peel of ½ lemon. Add enough sifted flour with 1 teaspoonful of baking-powder to make a soft biscuit dough. Put on a well-floured baking-board. Roll out a half inch thick. Cut into triangles and drop in a kettle of hot rendered butter; fry until a golden brown. Then mix some powdered sugar with a little milk and flavor with vanilla. Spread on the top.
