Baking Powder Biscuits

2 cups Five Roses flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk and water (half of each) 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon lard.

Note-Currants may be added to taste.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder twice together. Cream butter and lard and add to dry ingredients, using the tips of your fingers. Then add the liquid, mixing with a knife until you have a very soft dough. Place on your mixing board but do not knead. Roll out lightly until ¾ inch thick. Cut out and bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes.
