7 ozs. butter

indent=2|* 1 breakfastcup flour, pinch salt

4 ozs. butter or lard

teaspoonful Edmonds' Baking Powder

Water to mix

—Rub the butter into the flour, add salt, baking powder, and water a little at a time to make a firm dough. Roll out to required thickness.

indent=2|* 1 teacup curds

1 oz. butter

1 oz. sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon currants

—Cream butter and sugar, mix with the curds, mix all ingredients together. Fill patty-pans, lined with pastry.

To prepare the curd, boil 2 quarts of milk, and as it rises pour in either $1⁄2$ pint of vinegar or buttermilk to turn it to curds. Draw the pan to side of the fire, let it stand 5 minutes, then strain through a sieve.

Pastry requires a hot oven; if it contains baking powder—must be baked at once.
