While hot yeast breads of all kinds should be avoided both by the well and sick, a warm baking-powder biscuit may now and then be used. Put one quart of flour in a bowl, rub in quickly a tablespoonful of butter or a tablespoonful of olive oil. Add half a teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, mix thoroughly and add sufficient milk, about a cup and a half, to make a moist dough. Take the dough out on the board, knead lightly and quickly, roll into a sheet half an inch thick. Cut into small round biscuits, stand them in a greased pan, sufficiently far apart not to touch. Brush the tops with milk and bake in a quick oven twenty minutes. These may be made from either whole wheat or white flour.
