Potato Rolls

One cup sweet milk scalded, with three-fourths cup shortening. One-half cup of sugar. One tea-spoonful of salt. Add one cup of mashed potato. When cooled add one dissolved yeast cake, one beaten egg and one cup of flour. Mix well and let rise two hours. Then add six cups of flour, knead well. Let rise one and a half hours. Roll out thin, cut with biscuit cutter. Dip each piece in melted butter. Place two together. Rise again an hour and a half and bake twenty minutes.

Bread Sticks

Make the same as Parker House rolls. Mould in small balls, then roll under the hand, on the board, in thin sticks about six inches long. Let rise slowly, placing them in the pan one inch apart. Bake in a slow oven that they may dry before browning. Serve with soups or salads.

Cinnamon Rolls

Make the same as Parker House rolls. Roll the dough one-half inch thick, spread with a thin layer of melted butter and cinnamon. Roll up like jelly roll. Cut in slices an inch thick, place them on a well-greased pan one inch apart, sprinkle the top with a little powdered sugar. Let rise in the pans twice the size. Bake in a quick oven fifteen minutes.

Parker House dough can be made in braids, crescents or rolled and cut the same as for cinnamon rolls, without the spice, sugar and currants.

To Make Crescents

Roll the dough until only an eighth of an inch thick. Cut in pieces about four inches square, and then into triangles. Hold the apex of the triangle in the right hand, roll the edge next to the left hand over and over towards the right, stretch the point and bring it over and under the roll. Bend the ends of the roll around like a horseshoe. Let rise twice the size. Bake in a quick oven.

Corn Meal Rolls

1 cup scalded milk. 1 cup corn meal. 1 cup wheat flour.

1 yeast cake.

1 teaspoonful of salt.

1 tablespoonful each of sugar and butter or shortening.

Pour the hot milk onto the corn meal, salt and sugar, when cool add the yeast that has been dissolved in one-third cup of lukewarm water, then beat in the cup of flour, cover, and let rise overnight; in the morning mix with it enough white flour to knead, and the shortening. Knead thoroughly, let rise slowly twice the size, make out the same as Parker House rolls, let rise in the pans, slowly, until light; bake in a hot oven twenty minutes.

Bunns

1 cup scalded milk.

5 tablespoonfuls sugar.

2 tablespoonfuls butter. 1 teaspoonful salt.

1 egg.

1 yeast cake.

2 cups of flour.

Pour the hot milk over the salt, sugar and butter. When cool add the yeast that has been dissolved in one-half cup of lukewarm water, and the egg well beaten. Beat in the flour, let rise about two hours, then cut in flour enough to make a stiff dough with one-half cup of well washed currants and one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Let rise again twice the size. Shape in small balls, place on buttered pan. When well risen bake in a quick oven fifteen minutes. Brush over with milk just before taking from the oven.
