Two quarts of flour, one quart of warm milk, quarter of a pound of butter, and half a teacupful of yeast ; mix this into a dough and set it to rise three or four hours. Beat up four eggs, half a pound of sugar, and one teacupful of currants ; mix this into the dough, and set it to rise again two hours. When very light, make the dough into small buniis ; set them very close to- gether in tin pans and let them rise. 'When all of a sponge, brush the tops with a little milk and molasses mixed. Bake them in a quick oven fifteen or twenty minutes.
