Sugar Biscuit
Ingredients
- 1 pint milk
- 1 pound flour
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 ounce lard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup yeast
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
- lemon
- orange
Directions
- Boil the milk; when it is lukewarm, dissolve in it half a yeast cake.
- Measure in your pan 1 pound of flour; add 1 cup of sugar, 1 egg, 2 ounces of lard, the salt and the flavor.
- Mix these ingredients with the milk in which the yeast has been dissolved, and stir until the lumps are all gone.
- After mixing thoroughly beat steadily for five minutes, sprinkle a little flour over the top and set to rise.
- Cover the sponge so it will be warm (when yeast is used, mix with the milk and add the yeast last, beating thoroughly).
- In the morning, add to the light sponge the other 1/2 cup of sugar and make into a soft dough (be careful not to make the dough stiff).
- Let this rise again, and when light mold into small biscuits.
- Set these to rise, letting them get quite light before baking.
- When risen enough, bake in a hot oven until done (about thirty minutes).
