They talked while they worked, as any other group of campers might have talked, and jested and laughed. Kells made a fire, and carried water, then broke cedar boughs for later camp-fire use; one of the strangers whom they called Bill hobbled the horses; the other unrolled the pack, spread a tarpaulin, and emptied the greasy sacks; Roberts made biscuit dough for the oven.
Mix with a knife the flour and butter that is in the pan, adding by degrees a very little cold water till you have made it into a lump of stiff dough. Then with the knife, put all over it, at equal distances, one of the six pieces of butter divided into small bits. Fold up the sheet of paste, flour it, roll it out again, and add in the same manner another of the portions of butter.

Everybody was hungry from the long walk, and steak and sandwiches disappeared before the onslaught of four ravenous girls. "And here's the dessert!" Bet held up a handful of dough. "I wouldn't call that much of a dessert," Joy shrugged with disgust. "Wait and see! You take a little piece of it and pull it out like this," and Bet stretched the dough into a long, narrow ribbon.
Make the dough just as you would in the above recipe, adding a tablespoon of butter, and after they have risen steam instead of baking them.
She had just begun to mix the dough in a huge kneading-trough when suddenly the trough sprang up. "Stop, stop! where are you going?" Putting its arms akimbo, with dignity, it went skipping all about the cottage you may laugh, but it was no laughing matter to our grandfathers.
Take one and one-half cups of flour, a pinch of salt sifted into a deep bowl, one cup of lukewarm milk and three-fourths cake of compressed yeast which has been, dissolved in a little warm water and sugar.
