To Make Yeast Cakes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. When the yeast is fully risen and begins to settle, add as much Indian meal as can be worked into it.

  2. Roll the mixture into long rolls using your hands.

  3. Press the rolls down on a board until the bottom side is flat.

  4. Cut the flattened rolls into thin slices, about ½ inch thick.

  5. Place the slices apart on the board to allow air to circulate between them.

  6. Set the slices in a cool, windy place to dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
