Sift a pound of
flour into a pan, and rub into it two ounces of butter; mix in the
whites only of three eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, and a table-spoonful
of strong yeast; add sufficient milk to make a stiff
dough, and a salt-spoonful of salt. Cover it and set it before the
fire to rise. It should be light in an hour. Then put it on a
paste-board, divide it into rolls, or round cakes; lay them in a
floured square pan, and bake them about ten minutes in a quick
oven.
