Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Put one quart of sifted flour Into a howl, add to it a heaping tablespoonful of butter or lard, rub well together with the hands until the flour is thoroughly greased, add two heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder, half-teaspoonful of salt, six tablespoonfuls of cream, seven tablespoonfuls of water, or enough to make a soft dough;
  2. mix and knead quickly;
  3. roll out about one-half inch thick and bake in a quick oven fifteen or twenty minutes.
