Rub the butter into the flour, or, what is better, cut it up with a knife
or chopper, as you do in pastry; add the salt, milk, soda, mixing well.
Work into a ball, lay upon a floured board, and beat with the rollingpin
half an hour, turning and shifting the mass often. Roll into an even sheet,
a quarter of an inch thick, or less, prick deeply with a fork, and bake
hard in a moderate oven. Hang them up in a muslin bag in the kitchen for 2
days to dry.
