Let it rise, work in a small quantity of flour, beat as before and
make into rolls. After the second rising, bake quickly.--_Mrs. Dr. S._
POCKETBOOK ROLLS.
1 quart of flour.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
2 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
2 tablespoonfuls of lard.
3 tablespoonfuls of yeast.
2 eggs.
Mix up these ingredients with warm water, making up the dough at ten
A.M. in summer and eight A.M. in winter. Put in half the lard when it
is first worked up, and at the second working put in the rest of the
lard and a little more flour.
Roll out the dough in strips as long and wide as your hand, spread
with butter and roll up like a pocketbook. Put them in buttered tins,
and, when they are light, bake them a light brown--_Mrs. L. C. C._
TURNOVERS.
1 quart of flour.
1 large Irish potato, boiled and mashed.
3 eggs.
1 tablespoonful of butter or lard.
2 tablespoonfuls of yeast.
1 teacup of milk.
Rub the potato in the flour, then the lard and other ingredients,
making it into a soft dough. Then set it to rise, at night if you wish
it for breakfast next morning. Early in the morning, take off a piece
of dough, the size of a biscuit, roll it out, about five inches long,
then turn it about half over. When you have made up all the dough, in
shapes like this, place them on a dish or board, cover with a napkin
and set aside for a second rising. When ready to bake, dip a feather
in water and pass over them to prevent the crust being too hard. If
the dough should be sour, knead in a little soda, which will correct
it--_Mrs. A. C._
_Another Recipe for Turnovers._
1 quart of flour.
4 eggs.
1 tablespoonful of lard or butter.
1 tablespoonful of yeast.
Set it to rise, then make them up round and flat, greasing the upper
side with lard and turning over one side. When well risen the second
time, bake--_Mrs. I._
TWIST.
From the dough of loaf bread or French rolls, reserve enough to make
two long strips or rolls, say, fifteen inches long and one inch in
diameter. Rub lard well between the hands before handling and shaping
these strips. Pinch the two ends so as to make them stick together.
Twist them, pressing the other ends together to prevent
unrolling.--_Mrs. S. T._
POCKETS.
1 quart of flour.
4 eggs.
1 cup of butter.
1 cup of yeast.
1 large Irish potato, boiled and mashed into the flour.
Add the yeast, butter and eggs, after mashing the potato in the flour.
Knead all together and set to rise.
SALLY-LUNN.
1 quart of flour.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
1 tablespoonful of white sugar.
Rub in a heaping tablespoonful of butter and lard in equal parts,
then rub in an Irish potato, mashed fine.
Half a teacup of yeast.
3 eggs well beaten.
