Yorkshire Biscuits

For these old-fashioned favourites the following ingredients are required. Two pounds of flour, two and a half ounces of butter, two and a half ounces of sugar, one egg, half a pint of milk, and a pinch of carbonate of ammonia. The milk should be warmed and the butter dissolved in it, then added to the other ingredients. The ammonia should be sifted with the flour. Roll out the paste a quarter of an inch thick, and cut it into fingers an inch wide and three long. Brush over with egg, and bake in a moderate oven. Probable cost, 10d.
