Pour in three well beaten eggs and a half teacup of yeast. Make into a
soft dough with warm water in winter and cold in summer. Knead well
for half an hour. Set to rise where it will be milk-warm, in winter,
and cool in summer. If wanted for an eight o'clock winter breakfast,
make up at eight o'clock the night before. At six o'clock in the
morning, make out into round balls (without kneading again), and drop
into snow-ball moulds that have been well greased. Take care also to
grease the hands and pass them over the tops of the muffins. Set them
in a warm place for two hours and then bake.
These are the best muffins I ever ate.--_Mrs. S. T._
