Faggots

3/4 lb. (3 cups) flour Flavor to taste 1/4 lb. (1/2 cup) butter I egg Milk 2 ozs. (4 tablespoonfuls) sugar Rub the butter into the flour, add the sugar and a flavor, to taste, of whatever spice may be liked best, or of grated orange or lemon peel.

If desired, no special flavoring need be used; or, in preference to those mentioned, a few sweet almonds finely grated with as much of a bitter one as will give an agreeable but not too pronounced a flavor, may be employed. Beat up the egg until light, and having thoroughly mixed the dry ingredients, work them to a suitable consistency with it, adding a small quantity of milk or part of another beaten egg if the dough is too dry. Turn the mass out on a sugared pastry board, roll out to a piece about one-half inch thick, divide this into strips about the thickness of two fingers and the length of one, and bake in a slow oven until nice and crisp.

Serve hot or cold with butter.
