Recipe Introduction
You know how it is when you find a recipe in a magazine and try it and like it. Well this was one of those. When I graduated and moved out this stayed home. ( BIG MISTAKE) I thought oh I can just look up the recipe. NOT! It took 20 years to find the recipe again and don't ask how it got where I found it. I swear it should still be in Hawaii not here. Try this with a honey syrup like wht you find on loukmades or baklava. YUM!

3 tablespoon Sugar

In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut butter into bits and add to bowl. Add milk, vanilla and egg; mix well; form into a ball. Let rest in a bowl for 15 minutes.
