Biscuits for Coffee

Use a level teaspoonful of baking powder with each half pound of flour requisite and a little sugar and butter, making a rather stiff paste by adding some egg beaten up in a little milk. Work it well until quite smooth and then roll it out thin, cut it into biscuits three inches long by an inch and a half wide, perforate the tops with a docker and place in a moderately quick oven, baking to a yellow color. When done remove, and serve when cold.
