Cheese Biscuit No. 2.
| ¼ pound of soft cheese. | 4 teaspoonfuls of baking powder. |
| 2 cupfuls of flour. | 1½ teaspoonfuls of salt. |
| 1 cupful of water. |
Mix and sift the dry ingredients, then work in the cheese with a fork or with the fingers, and add the water gradually. The approximate amount of water has been given; it is impossible to give the exact amount, as flour differs in its capacity for taking up moisture. Toss the dough on a floured board and roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place in a buttered pan and bake in a quick oven from 12 to 15 minutes. The biscuit may be sprinkled with cheese before being put into the oven.
If the cheese is sufficiently soft it can be measured just as butter is. This recipe, then, would call for ½ cupful.
