Parker House Rolls Recipe 2

Sift together the flour, salt, and powder; rub in the shortening; add the milk, and mix to a smooth dough, to be easily handled.

Flour the board, turn out the dough, and knead thoroughly to make it smooth.

Roll out to thickness of half an inch.

Cut into three-inch circles.

Press a pencil down across the middle of each; rub the edges with soft butter.

Double each one over, and lay them an inch apart on flat, greased pans.

Brush with milk, and bake in a hot oven.
