Categories: Breads
Yield: 6 servings

2 c Flour
2 1/2 ts Double-acting baking powder
2 ts Sugar
1 ts Salt
7 tb Butter
3/4 c Milk

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut
the butter into small bits and stir them into the dry
ingredients, using your finger tips to make sure its
well combined. (Note:I used a pastry cutter.worked
just as well as my fingers and lot less messy.)
Next,slowly add the milk to the mixture while stirring
continually. Once the milk has been added, knead the
dough for one minute until smooth. Roll the dough out
to quarter inch thickness. Cut into squares and place
on a dry cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet on the
middle shelf. Bake for 12 minutes and feel secure in
knowing that you have passed on a small piece of
America's heritage on to your children.
