Nut Bars

Two cups of flour, 1 cup of chopped nuts, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg, a pinch of salt. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl, rub in the butter and add nuts and sugar. Mix to rather stiff dough with the egg and milk, roll out 2/3 of an inch thick. Cut into bars and fry in hot lard, until a golden brown.
