Mrs. James.
Break one egg into a cup and fill with sweet milk ; half cup yeast, half cup butter, one cup sugar, enough flour to make a soft dough ; flavor with nutmeg. Let it rise till it is very light, then mould into biscuit with a few currants. Let them rise a second time in the pan ; bake, and when nearly done, glaze with a little molasses and milk. Use the same cup for each measure. The size is immaterial.
