Make a good soda or cream biscuit ; mould it and roll it out half the thickness of common biscuit ; spread it over' with three or four spoons of melted butter ; then over this sprinkle half a coffee cup of best sugar ; roll up as compactly as you would a roll of jelly cake ; slice your roll off into inch thick slices ; lay these flat on your tins and bake as biscuits. They are very nice cold. TEA BISCUITS. Mrs. Norcross. One cup of hot water, two of milk, three tablespoons VALUABLE RECIPES. 297 of yeast ; mix thoroughly ; after it is risen, take two-thirds of a cup of butter and a little sugar and mould it ; then let it rise, and mould it into small cakes.
