Limited extract from religious cantata (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scant

'limited' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'extract from religious cantata' is the wordplay.
'extract from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'SCANT' is hidden within 'religious cantata'.

(Other definitions for scant that I've seen before include "Insufficient, limited" , "Barely adequate" , "Little" , "Scarcely sufficient" , "In short supply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
