4 c Flour

1 ts Salt

1 tb Lard

3 oz Water

3 oz Milk

And now a lil bit from old Virginia. Sift flour with salt. Work in lard. Have at the ready a glass

with equal parts sweet milk and water. Add it gradually, kneading all the while. Stop as

soon as the flour holds together and the dough is very stiff. Beat thirty minutes with an axe

kept for the purpose. Prick with a fork and bake until a delicate brown in a medium oven.

Sounds like they might be good to sop your chili with. From: Ed Eagleton
