3 1/2 cups flour                                     3/4 tsp. salt

1 tab. baking powder                            1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup shortening                                1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1 cup milk                                             1/3 cup Forty to One Cooking Syrup

Mix all ingredients except maple syrup.  Knead 5 or 6 times, don't over do. Cut in half.  Roll in 2 circles about 7 inches in diameter.  Cut into 8ths, but don't separate.  Prick all over the top with a fork.  Brush with maple syrup.  I just poured the syrup on gently.  Bake 425 for 15-18 minutes until golden.
