Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. A pound of bread dough

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.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. A pound of bread dough, quarter-pound softened butter;
  2. work the butter well into the dough, and roll out about half an inch thick;
  3. cut into strips nearly an inch wide and seven or eight inches long ;
  4. sift over them fine corn meal, place them apart on a buttered pan, and when light bake in a quick oven.
