2 cups Graham flour.

1 cup white flour.

2 table-spoonfuls mixed butter and lard. 1 table-spoonful light-brown sugar.

3 cups milk, or enough for soft dough.

1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in hot water.

2 teaspoonfuls cream tartar, sifted in flour. 1 teaspoonful salt.

Chop the shortening into the flour; add sugar and salt, at last the milk in which the soda has been put. Roll out, with as little handling as may be, into a rather thick sheet. Cut into round cakes; prick with a fork, and bake immediately in a brisk oven.

These biscuits are very good and wholesome.
