Lady Fingers

Prepare the desired quantity of flour and butter in the following proportions: Half a pound of butter to every three pounds of flour, and rub well together, adding half a pound of fine sugar, with about thirty drops of essence of lemon; mix with milk into a firm dough, and place in a cloth for half an hour to settle before using. Beat with a rolling-pin until quite smooth, roll out thin and cut into strips, and cut these strips into five-inch lengths.
