Paste Made with Cream

Mix one-half teaspoonful each of salt and bicarbonate of soda with one breakfast cupful of cream; stir in gradually enough flour to make a stiff paste. Sprinkle a little flour on the table, and roll the paste out on it to about one-half inch thick. Cut about two ounces of butter in small pieces and put these on the paste; sift over a little flour, double the paste and roll it out thin. It is then ready to be used.
