2 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. lard
2 eggs
1 pt. sweet milk
1 oz. ammonia, baking ammonia from pharmacy
1 oz. lemon oil, from pharmacy

Blend lard and sugar, then the beaten eggs. Crush and dissolve the ammonia in the sweet milk, add the lemon and stir in enough flour to make a very stiff dough. Knead well, roll thin and cut as desired. Bake until light brown in a 400 degree oven. If the dough is pounded until light the crackers will be finer in texture. Pound with rolling pin in your hand.
