This recipe is from a People's Friend magazine. I don't know how old it is but there are a few recipes for using with a 500 Watt microwave, so it isn't ancient!

12 ozs strong white flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 oz Stork margarine 1/2 oz sachet "Easy Blend" yeast 7 fluid ozs milk and water mixed
Sieve the flour and salt together in a bowl. Rub in the Stork and stir in the yeast.
