Made with Baking Powder.—Sift together a small teaspoonful of baking powder and 1lb. of flour, rub 2oz. of butter or lard into this, with the well-beaten yolk of one egg, and a saltspoonful of salt; work this quickly to a light dough with a little warm milk, shape the dough into rounds, place on a well-floured baking tin, brush over with milk and sugar, and bake twenty to thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Delicious tea cakes can be made thus with the Hovis Lito flour, omitting the baking powder.
