Ingredients

  • two teaspoonfuls of salt
  • two cups of water
  • a handful of wheat flour
  • a cup of yeast
  • a pint of milk
  • a teaspoonful of salt
  • two parts
  • half filled
  • three quarters of an hour will bake
  • salt

Directions

1

Mash half a dozen peeled, boiled potatoes, and mix in a handful of wheat flour, and two teaspoonfuls of salt, and after putting it through a colander, add hot water till it is a batter. When blood warm, put in half a teacup of distillery yeast, or twice as much home made'. When light, keep it corked tight. If made with hop water, it will last longer.

2

To a cup of yeast, allow two cups of water, and mix in as much sifted flour as can be well stirred with a wooden spoon; scatter a little flour over the top, cover the dish, and in warm weather use cold water, and set the sponge in a cool place. In the morning, add half a pint of milk, with a teaspoonful of salt, and knead into a dough with sifted flour. Knead until the dough is smooth, and will not stick to the hands or board. Divide it into two parts, and put into the pans; let them be half filled, and in two or three hours it will be ready to bake. From half to three quarters of an hour will bake them.
