BETTINA'S RECIPES
(All measurements are level)
Pinwheel Biscuits (Fifteen biscuits)
2 C-flour
4 t-baking powder
3 T-lard
½ t-salt
¾ C-milk
1/3 C-stoned raisins
2 T-sugar
2 T-melted butter
½ t-cinnamon
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, work in the lard with a knife, add gradually the milk, mixing with the knife to a soft dough. Toss on a floured board, roll one inch thick, spread with butter, and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon, which have been well mixed. Press in the raisins. Roll up the mixture evenly as you would a jelly roll. Cut off slices, an inch thick—flatten a little and place in a tin pan. Bake in a hot oven for fifteen minutes. (These are similar to the cinnamon rolls made from yeast sponge.)

BETTINA'S BIRTHDAY GIFT
"YOUR set, Bob," said Bettina, as she gathered up the tennis balls. "But please say you think I'm improving! Oh, there'll come a time when I'll make you a stiff opponent, but I'll have to work up my service first! It's time to go home to breakfast now, but hasn't it been fun?"
