2ozs lard
1lb white flour
1tsp salt

1tsp caster sugar
1/2 pint of milk
Warm the milk, cream the sugar and yeast together and mix with the milk.
Sieve together the flour and salt, gently rub in or fork in the lard then add to the yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
Knead thoroughly,leave in a warm place to rise then knead again and cut or shape into rounds about 2/3" across.
Lightly flour a baking tray place the pieces on it and leave to prove once more.
Bake in oven at temp.400F for about 15mins.
Serve hot or cold.
