1 1/2 c Flour
3/4 ts Salt
1 Egg; well beaten
1/4 c Shortening
4 ts Baking powder
1 c Mashed potatoes
Milk
Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder and salt. Add mashed
potatoes and shortening which have been creamed together. Add well-
beaten egg and sufficient milk to make a roll dough. Very little milk
is necessary. Turn onto lightly floured board. Pat into sheet 1/2"
thick, or divide dough into three parts, roll into rounds 1/2" thick,
cut each of these into four pie-shaped sections, and bake in hot oven
(450 F) 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
