Bread, Brown, Biscuits

Take two ounces of butter dissolved in half a pint of boiling water, and stir it into a pound of wheat meal; knead it to a firm dough. Mix all well, roll out to a thickness of about half an inch, and cut with a biscuit-cutter or a sharp-edged tea-cup. Prick the biscuits with a fork, and bake in a quick oven. Average cost, 4d. Sufficient for one pound of biscuits.
