Breakfast Rolls Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Breakfast Rolls Recipe, first 1 1/2 pints flour; 1/2 pint Indian corn meal (white); 1 teaspoonful salt; 2 teaspoonfuls baking-powder; 1 tablespoonful butter or lard; 3/4 pint milk. Sift together flour, corn meal, salt, and powder; rub in shortening; add the milk, mix smoothly into rather firmer dough than usual. Flour the board, turn out the dough, give it one or two turns to complete its smoothness. Divide it, thus prepared, into pieces size of an egg; again divide these in half, which roll out under the hand until they are long and half the size of one's little finger. Lay on greased baking-tin so that they do not touch. Brush them over with milk. Bake in hot oven seven or eight minutes.
