1/2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. self-rising flour (more if needed)

Partly melt butter. Cream vanilla, salt and milk. Knead in flour as if making biscuit dough. Use as much flour as you need; the more flour, the better. Roll dough out on waxed paper. Roll very thin, starting with a small amount, about the size of a biscuit. Cut out with a glass or biscuit cutter. Bake at 315 degrees until golden brown in well greased and floured cookie sheet.
