Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in margarine until the mixture
resembles coarse cornmeal. Gradually mix in just enough water to make a soft, but not
sticky, dough. Shape into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 1 inch thick. Place on
a greased baking sheet and bake in a 425ºF (220ºC) oven for about 25 minutes or until
lightly browned. Cut in wedges and serve with Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup. Makes
4-6 servings.
