    2       ts           Sugar

   Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of

   looks like course crumbs. Fashion a well in the middle
   and add milk quickly, then stir just till the dough
   clings together. Knead gently on lightly floured
   surface for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat out to 1/2
   inch thick. Cut with floured cutter or tumbler. Bake
   in moderately hot oven with 2/3 coals on top and 1/3
   on bottom for 10 to 12 minutes or till golden brown.
