One cup of mashed potatoes, three-quarters of a cup of granulated sugar, one-half cup of luke warm water, one-half a nutmeg and one cake of compressed yeast. Take enough of flour to make a thin batter. Set at nine o'clock in the morning in the cooker and at twelve o'clock beat into it two eggs, one cup of melted butter and flour enough to make a soft dough, about as thick as biscuit dough.

One and one-fourth cups of flour, three-quarters of a cup of yellow corn meal, four teaspoons of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of butter, one egg and three-fourths of a cup of milk. All measurements are to be level. Mix and sift dry ingredients in a bowl. Chop butter in with knife. Beat egg, and mix in, then add one-half the milk and all the dry ingredients to make a soft dough that can be handled. Add more milk if necessary, turn on a floured board, roll out one-half inch thick. Cut with round cutter, put butter size of pea in each round, fold in center. Rub top with milk and bake in hot oven twelve or fifteen minutes.
One quart skimmed milk, one egg, butter the size of an egg, one-half cake of yeast, flour sufficient to make a smooth dough. Raise five hours. Mold and let rise. Slightly heat the pan of rolls, while the asbestos slabs are over the fire. Make the slabs very hot. Place them above and below the rolls, with a wire toasting frame between the bake pan and the hot stone. Above, rest a toasting frame on the bake pan and put the hot stone on that.
