2 cupfuls flour
4 tablespoonfuls Crisco
3 teaspoonfuls baking powder
2 teaspoonfuls sugar
1/2 teaspoonful salt
2 eggs
1/3 cupful cream

finger tips, add eggs well beaten and cream. Knead dough lightly on
floured baking board, divide into four equal pieces, make smooth and
roll out, and cut into 4 small scones. Lay them on hot griddle, brush
over with beaten white of egg and fry slowly on both sides. The dough
should always be lightly handled.
