1 lb. butter.
1¾ lb. sugar.
1 quart sweet milk.
4 eggs.
1 large cup yeast.
1 tablespoonful mace or nutmeg.
2 teaspoonfuls cinnamon.
Flour to make all stiff as bread dough.
1 teaspoonful salt.
Cream the butter and sugar, add the milk, yeast, and one quart and a
pint of flour. Set to rise over night. In the morning beat the eggs
very light, and stir into the batter with the spice and rest of the
flour. Set to rise three hours, or until light; roll into a pretty
thick sheet, cut out, and fry in boiling lard. Sift powdered sugar over
them while hot.
