Graham Flour Wafers

Take two breakfast cupfuls each of graham and wheat flour, put into a basin and rub one and a half teacupfuls of butter into it; when quite smooth, add a saltspoonful of salt and three-quarters of a breakfast cupful of sugar, stirring in gradually sufficient water to make a stiff dough. Sprinkle some flour over the table, place the dough on it, roll it out very thin, and then cut it into squares. Butter a baking-sheet, lay the squares of dough on it, and bake in a quick oven.
