add one-half of the beaten egg to one and one-fourth cups of milk.
Beat to mix. Use this to make a soft dough. Turn on a lightly floured
baking board and knead for three minutes. Now divide into five pieces
and mould each piece round like a saucer, and cut each way, making
four wedge-shaped pieces; place on a well-greased baking sheet and
brush with the remaining half of the egg, and bake in a hot oven for
fifteen minutes.
