  Rub the butter into the flour, or, what is better, cut it up with a
  knife or chopper, as you do in pastry; add the salt, milk, soda,
  mixing well. Work into a ball, lay upon a floured board, and beat
  with the rolling-pin half an hour, turning and shifting the mass
  often. Roll into an even sheet, a quarter of an inch thick, or less,
  prick deeply with a fork, and bake hard in a moderate oven. Hang them
  up in a muslin bag in the kitchen for 2 days to dry.
