Rub three quarters of a pound of fresh butter into a
pound and a half of sifted flour; and make it into a dough with a
little cold water. Roll it out into a sheet half an inch thick,
and cut it into round cakes with the edge of a tumbler. Prick them
with a fork; lay them in a shallow iron pan sprinkled with flour,
and bake them in a moderate oven till they are brown. Send them to
table hot; split and butter them.
