Three-in-One Mixture

The three-in-one mixture is as follows, the one foundation making three different things: Put into a basin three cups of flour, three large teaspoons of baking powder, three large teaspoons of sugar, quarter of a pound of lard, or four large tablespoons of good dripping. Rub the fat into the other ingredients, then take out one cup of it, and put it into a basin by itself for the rock cakes. Now mix the rest with milk, or milk and warm water with a knife, and then roll into a dough. Divide tpis into two; roll one piece out half an inch thick for scones, and the other half very thin for pastry. Now add a tablespoon of sugar and half a cup of sultanas to the mixture set aside in the basin, and mix with warm water and milk. Put teaspoon lots, or more, on a greased oven tray, and bake for the rock cakes. The pastry is nice with either meat or fruit, and any left may be packed in’ a tin, and served later, spread with butter or mock cream, or used for mincemeat or stewed fruit. I do hope this mixture of mine will give you a "more-ish" feeling!A Wanganui Daisy. We are all ever so much obliged. Of course, if one has an egg to spare, it would make the rock cakes even nicer still. It is always a comfort to get hold of economical ideas.
