Sift baking powder, flour & salt. Rub in butter thoroughly but quickly & lightly using the tips of your fingers, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in milk lightly & quickly, using a knife.

Make a soft dough. Turn on a lightly floured board & knewad lightly.

Roll lightly to about ½ to ¾ inch thick. Cut into shapes. The flour you use is important, use a flour with a high protein content.

The recipe is made using a baking powder made with cream of tarter as the main ingredient. If using a baking powder with a food phosphate as the main ingredient, warm the milk slightly before use. Mix lightly but quickly. Overhandling will result in a tougher product.
