RUSKS,
WITH YEAST
In one cup of warm milk dissolve
half a cake of compressed yeast, or three tablespoons of home-made yeast;
to this add three well-beaten eggs, a half cup of sugar and a teaspoon
of salt; beat these together. Use flour enough to make a smooth, light
dough, let it stand until very light, then knead it in the form of biscuits;
place them on buttered tins and let them rise until they are almost up
to the edge of the tins; pierce the top of each one and bake in a quick
oven. Glaze the top of each with sugar and milk, or the white of an egg,
before baking.
NOTE: You could add
some dried currants, well-washed and dried in the oven. |
