SODA CAKES, VERY SUPERIOR.
Sift into three pints of flour, three teaspoonsful of cream of tartar; rub one quarter of a pound of butter in the flour; dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in as much milk as will make a dough, thick enough to roll out; then take a large spoonful, sift flour on the board, roll out and bake: do not touch them with the hands.
