Abernethy Biscuits
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is a much nicer Abernethy biscuit than the one in The Listener. 1 have made. both so I know! Mine ‘is
from an old Welsh book. Rub 3 oz.. butter into 8 oz. flour and add 2 oz. sugar (or less), ¥2 teaspoon baking powder. Beat an eg? well and pour into dry insteg Nits with: 1- tablespoon milk, Mix well... 2oll thin and cut in shapes. Bake on greased tinJin moderate oven 10 minutes. "Recently someone asked advice about "kisses." A good general rule is to take the weight of however many eggs you like in fiour, butter, sugar and cornflour, plus 1% teaspoon baking powder to each egg. If you allow the scales to go right down with the flour but not quite down with the cornflour it makes a nicer cake. "Virginia," Wanganui.
