BUTTER BISCUITS

1/2 lb. butter
2 lbs. fine flour
1/2 pint milk

Dissolve the butter in the milk, which should be warmed, then stir in the meal and make into a stiff, smooth paste, roll it out very thin, stamp it into biscuits, prick them out with a fork, and bake on tins in a quick oven for 10 minutes.
