In another bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture and use’ a metal tablespoon to mix all the ingredients together. Lightly flour a board and rolling pin. Roll out the mixture fairly thinly. Cut out pig shapes with a knife or skewer. Remember their snouts and fat bodies, but do not make them too big, You will probably make 15 to 20 out of your dough. Add

currants for eyes. Using a palette knife, lift the biscuits carefully on to the baking sheets.- Bake in the top half of the oven at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. (This recipe can be varied and when you are tired of animal biscuits form the mixture into little balls instead and decorate with chocolate buttons or other sweets. This variation makes about 25 biscuits.)
