Oven Scones

Ingredients

 * 4 cupfuls flour
 * 5 tablespoonfuls Crisco
 * 1 tablespoonfuls sugar
 * ½ teaspoonful salt
 * 1 teaspoonful baking soda
 * 2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar
 * 1 egg
 * Sweet milk

Directions
To prepare this Oven Scones Recipe, first rub Crisco finely into flour, add sugar, salt, soda, and cream of tartar. Beat egg, put half of it into cup, then with one-half and some sweet milk make other ingredients into soft dough. Knead very little on floured baking board, divide into five pieces, make them smooth and roll out, not too thinly, cut them into four small cakes. Lay them on a Criscoed tin, brush over with remaining egg and bake in hot oven ten minutes. A few currants or raisins may be added if liked.

Sufficient for twenty small scones.
