Ingredients
- two teaspoonfuls of brown sugar
- three ounces of butter in one pint of milk
- a teaspoonful of soda
- two white potatoes
- one small teacupful of yeast
- one pint of milk
- salt
Directions
Boil and mash two white potatoes; add two teaspoonfuls of brown sugar; pour boiling water over these, enough to soften them. When tepid, add one small teacupful of yeast; when light, warm three ounces of butter in one pint of milk, a little salt, a third of a teaspoonful of soda and flour enough to make stiff sponge; when risen, work it on the board, put it back in the tray to rise again; when risen, roll into cakes and let them stand half an hour. Bake in a _quick_ oven. These biscuits are fine.
