Biscuits, Plain

Make one pound of flour into a stiff paste with the yolk of an egg well beaten in a little milk. Too much milk will make the biscuits thin and heavy. Beat the paste and knead till smooth. Roll out thin, and with a round tin-cutter form into biscuits. Bake in a slow oven. Time, twelve to eighteen minutes. Probable cost, 4d. per pound.
