Ingredients. - One pound of self-raising flour. Two ounces of butter. Milk. Time required, about half an hour.
To make Milk-Rolls:
1. Put one pound of self-raising flour into a basin, and rub two ounces of butter into it with your hands.
2. Add sufficient milk to make it into a lithe, firm dough.
3. Sprinkle flour over a board, and turn the dough out on it.
4. Take a knife, dip it in flour, and cut the dough into twelve pieces.
N. B. - Keep your hands floured, to prevent the dough from sticking to them.
5. Form each piece into a small roll.
6. Flour a baking-tin.
7. Put these rolls on to the tin, and put the tin in the oven (the heat should rise to 240°) to bake for twenty minutes.
