Simple Cakes

Rub four ounces of fresh butter into half a pound of biscuit flour. Add a pinch of salt, three table-spoonfuls of finely-sifted sugar, and a well-beaten fresh egg. Roll the pastry out to the thickness of a quarter of an inch, stamp it into fancy cakes with a cutter, and bake these upon tins in a well-heated oven. Time to bake, about twenty minutes.
