2 cups flour
3 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons shortening
⅓ cup milk
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; add well-beaten egg
and melted shortening to milk and add to dry ingredients to make soft
dough. Roll out on floured board, ⅛ inch thick. Cut out with medium-size
biscuit cutter which has been dipped in flour. Then taking a smaller
cutter, cut ½ of these rounds again. Brush the large rounds lightly with
melted butter. Then take the outer rings and lay on top of the large
buttered rounds. Put on greased baking tin. Put a teaspoon of jam in
each tart and bake in hot oven (475°) for about 10 minutes. The small
centers can be brushed with butter and baked in the same manner and
served as little tea biscuits.
Makes 10 tarts with 10 tiny biscuits.

While no one looked he slyly took
A piece of pie crust fence,
And next he ate a pretzel gate—
It tasted just immense!
They stopped to watch a cake walk
In the little frosted square
Where all the best and richest cakes
Were stepping it for fair.
The Scotch scones danced the Highland fling,
The Dutch cakes danced the clog,
And Hun Bun led the bun ballet
Assisted by his dog.
Young Billy felt so gay himself
He danced with Sally Lunn,
He never knew a cake walk
Was such a lot of fun.
But with every passing minute
Bill grew hungrier until
Bunbury’s king was worried!
“I’m afraid that little Bill
Will bring this cake walk to an end
And start a canni-ball,
He’ll eat my favorite subjects up
Which wouldn’t do at all.”
