Beaten Or Virginia Biscuit

Two quarts of Sperry Flour; two tablespoonfuls of lard; one teaspoonful of salt. Mix with water and a little milk. Beat, or work until the dough blisters. Cut out and stick with a fork. Good for luncheon; best hot for breakfast.

Biscuits

Sift well together a quart Sperry Flour, a level spoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of Folger's Golden Gate Baking Powder. Rub in two tablespoonfuls of shortening as lightly as possible with the fingers, just working until it is well blended with the flour. Mix to a very soft dough with the milk or water, having this always as cold as possible. Mix with a flexible knife in preference to either a spoon or the hand, as the steel blade of the knife is colder than the spoon, and also because it cuts and mixes the dough more thoroughly. Turn dough on a well-floured board and roll or pat with the hands until about three-quarters of an inch thick. Cut into biscuits and lay, not touching, on a baking pan. Bake in quick oven 12 or 15 minutes. The chief requirements of good biscuits are: 1 - A very soft dough, so soft as to be almost sticky; 2 - Very little handling, because much manipulation destroys their lightness; 3 - Very quick oven. If not allowed to touch each other in pan, they will be much lighter and more delicate.
