These are usually eaten with tea.

8 cups of flour
pinch of salt, or to taste
1/3 cup of sugar
4 teaspoons of baking powder
1-1/2 sticks of butter
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups of milk

Glaze:
1 egg beaten with pinch of salt
Sugar for dipping
butter, jam,whipped cream

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Make a well in the centerand pinch in the butter. Beat the eggs with the milk and add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix to form a soft dough and turn out onto the floured board. Knead lightly, just until you can shape the dough into a ball. Roll out to 1 inch thick and cut into rounds. Brush the tops with the egg glaze mixture and dip in sugar. Bake at 475 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
