Directions
Bake two large potatoes ; while hot wash through a strainer into a stone jar. Into the hot potatoes stir a cupful of lard and butter mixed, salt and two well beaten eggs. Add to this a cupful of milk in which has been dissolved one-half cake of compressed yeast and a tablespoon of sugar; stir in one quart of sifted flour. Mix this at eight o'clock in the morning, cover and leave anywhere in the kitchen in winter. At eleven o'clock add to the dough one pint of sifted flour, set away for a second using, at four o'clock turn out on the biscuit board and with just sufficient flour to handle it, roll out and cut with biscuit cutter, placing in a baking pan, one on top of the other, with a little butter between. Cover with towel and let rise two hours. Bake in quick oven for six o'clock dinner. — Mrs. Amaryn Gilbert.
One quart of flour, after sifted, two heaping teaspoons Royal Baking Powder, one-half teaspoon salt, sift all together; add lump of lard the size of an egg, and work together thoroughly, then add sweet milk to make a soft dough; beat well and add just enough flour to roll. Bake in a moderate oven. — Nancy Huebner.
