Scones, Rice

Put one pound of rice, one tea-spoonful of sugar, and half a tea-spoonful of salt into a saucepan with a quart of water, and let it come to the boil. Then set it at the side of the fire, and let it steam for two hours with the lid close, till all the water has been absorbed, and the rice has become soft. Then sprinkle a quarter of a pound of flour on the baking-board, and turn the rice out on it. Let it stand till cool; then divide into six parts, and roll out very thin. Cut each part into three, and bake on not too hot a girdle. Probable cost, 6d.
