Sift together 1 qt. of flour, 2 heaped teaspons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix in with the hand 1 heaped tablespoon lard, and enough sweet milk to make soft dough. Knead just enough to roll out, handling as little as possible, cut into shape and bake in a hot oven. Owing to the action of baking powder, success depends on kneading quickly, making the dough soft, and baking in a quick oven.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Allow 15 minutes for the mixing and baking of the biscuits. Sift together 3 pints of flour, 3 heaped teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, mix with milk, using a spoon (do not knead), turn out on a well floured board, dust with flour, press into a flat sheet, cut out with a well floured cutter, dip in melted butter or beef drippings and bake in a hot oven.
