Crust, Short, Common

Mix two table-spoonfuls of sifted sugar, a pinch of salt, and a heaped tea-spoonful of baking-powder with one pound of dry flour. Rub into it three ounces of good beef dripping, and work it into a smooth paste with water or new milk. Handle it as little as possible. Bake in a moderate oven. Probable cost, 4d. per pound.
