Soda Crackers

1/2 Yeast Cake, 1½ quart Flour, 1/2 oz. Salt, ¼ cup sour Milk or Water, 1 scant pt. warm Water, 1/3 cup Lard, 1 teaspoonful The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda.

In the evening set sponge of yeast, warm water and flour (sifted). Let raise over night. In the morning work into it the lard, salt and The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda, dissolved in the sour milk, or water. Work all well together, using enough more sifted flour to make a stiff dough. Pound with rolling pin and double over. Keep repeating until dough is smooth. Then roll out into a thin sheet and punch holes into it with a large fork. Cut out round or square and bake on cookie tins or in large dripping pans. Bake in hot oven. It takes but a few minutes to bake them. Have pans heated before putting the crackers on them and do not grease them.
