APEES.
415. Three-quarters of a pound of flour,
Half a pound of butter,
Half a pound of sugar,
One tea spoonful of grated nutmeg,
As much milk as will form a dough.
Cut up the butter in the flour, add the sugar, and spice by degrees.
Stir in as much milk as will make a dough. Knead it well, roll it out in sheets, cut it in cakes. Butter your tins, lay them on so as not to touch, and bake in a moderate oven.
