4 cups light bread dough - 2 lbs.
1/2 cup sugar.
2 ounces melted lard.
Lard to fry.
Take the dough from the breakfast rolls, say at 9 in the morning, in Winter. In Summer the dough worked up at mid-day will do. Mix in the ingredients, let stand half an hour Work up stiff with flour sufficient, and set to rise about 4 hours. Then knead, and roll it out to a sheet Brush over the whole sheet of dough with a very little melted lard.
Cut out with a large biscuit cutter and cut the middle out with a small one. This makes rings, which must be set to rise on greased pans about 1/2 hour, then dropped in hot lard. Sift sugar over when done. They cook in about 5 minutes.
Cost of material - dough 5, sugar and lard 5, lard to fry 8; 18 cents for about 24.
