Anyone recognize this recipe?

[fenchurch]

Okay, here's an odd one for you... while cleaning my desk, I found a recipe for a pastry of some sort on a Post-It note in someone else's handwriting. And now I'm really curious as to what it could be.

Any guesses?

8 oz melted butter

(sifted together)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder


I'm assuming the following are in cups, though it's not indicated.
1/4 white sugar
1 1/4 brown sugar

1 egg + 1 yolk

And that's it. No other instructions including things like baking times.

It looks like some sort of loaf to me. If you beat the butter and egg together with the sugar, then gradually blend in the dry mix (flour, salt, b.p.), then you might have a batter for some sort of loaf.

Not enough liquid for a batter. This would make a pliable dough.

The melted butter might be for ease of blending.

It sounds very close to a Snickerdoodle recipe. (http://www.dianaskitchen.com/page/cookies/sdoodle.htm)

Yes, I guess a sweet loaf would need another stick of butter for that much flour and sugar, and another egg, as well.

But it's not snickerdoodles either, as they always have cinnamon.

It could be an old fashioned sugar cookie, then.
