2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. Aunt Jemima syrup, any flavor
1 egg, slightly beaten

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Combine flour, baking powder and salt, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add combined syrup and egg, mixing just until moistened. Shape dough to form a ball. Turn out onto floured surface. Knead 10 times. Pat into two 7 inch circles, place one on prepared cookie sheet.
