lightly. Mix yolk egg with water; add enough of these to mix flour,
etc., to stiff paste. Knead till smooth on floured board, then roll
out and cut into biscuits with small cutter; lay on Criscoed tin
and bake in quick oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are a delicate

The biscuits are brittle, so always prepare more than are actually
required. They rewarm well with care.
