Original Text
Coffee Biscuits. (Miss Duckworth.) Melt 2 ozs. of butter, add 1 lb. of flour and enough cold milk to mix; add also a little salt. Beat with the brake,* roll out very thin, and cut into shape with a cutter; remember to prick them very well. They are like baker's coffee biscuits, 4 inches long, rather more than 1 inch wide and notched at the edges. Bake them a nice brown in a very hot oven. Make them fresh for dessert every day, just in time to send the biscuits up cold; they must not be sent up before dinner, for freshness is their great merit. * A brake, staff and docker are used by Scotch biscuit makers for kneading and pricking the very stiff dough required for biscuits.
