2 1/2| quarts pastry flour 1/2 quart white corn meal 1 1/4 cups shortening 2 tablespoons salt

1/2 cup baking powder 4 1/2 or more cups milk, or milk and water 1 quart shaved maple sugar

1 cup oleomargarine

A larger proportion of white corn meal may be used, or pastry flour alone, when not necessary to save wheat. Mix and sift dry ingredients together. Cut and rub in shortening. Add milk to make as soft as possible. Be careful not to knead in flour in rolling. Roll out to one-half inch in thickness. Cream oleo and sugar together until soft enough to spread. Spread thick layer on dough; roll like jelly roll. Cut in three-fourths inch slices; place flat side down, and barely touching each other, in oiled pans. Bake twenty minutes or more in hot oven. Brown sugar, with a tablespoon maple flavor, may be substituted for maple sugar.
