Melt half a cup of butter in three-quarters of a pint of warm milk,
dissolve one cake of compressed yeast in a little tepid milk, stir
together and add a teaspoonful of salt and enough flour to make like
bread dough, set to rise in a warm place. It will rise in about two
hours. Roll out the dough, using as little flour as possible to keep it
from sticking, and cut with a biscuit-cutter, or mould with the hands
into rolls, put them in pans, and set on the shelf over the range to
rise about ten or fifteen minutes. Bake fifteen or twenty minutes.
