Beaten Biscuit
2 qts. of sifted flour, a tsp. of salt, a Tbsp of sweet lard, 1 egg; make up with 1/2 pt. of milk, or, if milk is not to be had, plain water will answer; beat regularly, but not hard, until the dough blisters & pops. Pull off some of the dough; roll it into a ball with the hand; flatten, stick with a fork, & bake in a quick oven. It is not beating hard that makes the biscuit nice, but the regularity of the beating.
