Lunch Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 oz lard
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pint milk

Directions

The book says “a cool oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a bowl, mix the lard and baking powder.

3. Add the milk and stir until combined.

4. Roll out the dough to 1 inch thick.

5. Cut with a round cutter about 2½ inches in diameter.

6. Place the rounds on a greased baking tin, just touching each other.

7. Brush the tops with milk.

8. Bake until golden, then brush with milk again after removing from the oven.
