"Nothing extraordinary don't be alarmed; he put himself under the protection of the court, compounded with his creditors tenpence in the pound; in six weeks set up again, coaxed back his wife, and is flourishing like a green bay-tree." "And Crimsworth Hall was the furniture sold too?" "Everything from the grand piano down to the rolling-pin."
Beat the dough with a rolling-pin for half an hour, or run through the little machine that comes for the purpose. Make into small biscuit, prick several times, and bake till brown. One pint of sifted flour; a piece of butter the size of a walnut; half a teaspoonful of salt. Rub butter and flour together, and make into dough with half a cup of warm milk. Beat half an hour with the rolling-pin.
Keep it in a cold place. It will not in warm weather be good more than two days. It is only made for present use. Top and tail the gooseberries; put them, a few at a time, into a wooden dish, and with a rolling-pin or beetle break and mash every one; transferring them, as they are done, into a large stone jar.
In ten minutes she was seated; a table with flour, rolling-pin, ginger, and lard on one side, a dresser with eggs, pork, and beans and various cooking utensils on the other, near her an oven heating, and beside her a dark-skinned nymph, waiting orders. "'Here, Harriet, said I, 'you can write on this atlas in your lap; no matter how the writing looks, I will copy it.
Then take the second of the four pieces of butter, and, with the point of your knife, stick it in little bits at equal distances all over the sheet of paste. Sprinkle on some flour, and fold up the dough. Flour the paste-board and rolling-pin again; throw a little flour on the paste and roll it out a second time. Stick the third piece of butter all over it in little bits.
"It does with you," said Percy, taking the rolling-pin again, to send it violently over the long-suffering dough, "and I declare, it's going to do with me," he cried, in delight at the large flat cake staring up at him from the board. "Now, says I, I'll beat you, Jappy!"
If your hand is warm, use a knife instead of your thumb; for if the butter oils, the paste will be heavy. When you have put on the layer of butter, sprinkle it with a very little flour, and with your hands roll up the paste as you would a sheet of paper. Then flatten it with a rolling-pin, and roll it out a second time into a thin sheet.
On a rough table stood the brass mortar and iron pestle for mixing, the flesh-hook for handling meats, brass skimmer, rolling-pin, and other handy cooking utensils. Besides, in an adjoining space, there were pans, butter-pots, tubs and trays for the milk and milk products. Photo by Thomas L. Williams
Koku, stay on guard here from now on until I return from Cuba. And get several of the men to relieve you. Another thing: I don't want either of you to mention this affair to anyone. Dad would hear about it and worry." "If I catchum fella I breakum in little bits!" cried Koku fiercely. He shook the rolling-pin vigorously. "Better him stay 'way fum me!"
Roll it out into a large thick sheet, and beat it very hard on both sides with the rolling-pin. Beat it a long time. Cut it out with a tin, or cup, into small round thick cakes. Beat each cake on both sides, with the rolling-pin. Prick them, with a fork. Put them in buttered pans, and bake them of a light brown in a slow oven. Two pounds of flour, sifted. One pound of fresh butter.
