Butter Crackers (for Oyster Stew)
Ingredients
- 1 quart flour
- 3 Tb butter
- 1/2 tsp soda, dissolved in hot water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sweet milk
Instructions
Rub the butter into the flour, or, what is better, cut it up with a knife or chopper, as you do in pastry; add the salt, milk, soda, mixing well. Work into a ball, lay upon a floured board, and beat with the rolling-pin half an hour, turnin g and shifting the mass often. Roll into an even sheet, a quarter of an inch thick, or less, prick deeply with a fork, and bake hard in a moderate oven. Hang them up in a muslin bag in the kitchen for 2 days to dry.
