Form quickly into rolls and place in greased pans. Stand aside for one hour. Bake in a quick oven twenty minutes.

Scald the milk and let it cool, add to it the yeast cake, moistened. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the milk and yeast; cover and stand aside until morn- ing. In the morning, stir in the flour gradually until you have a stiff dough; knead for fifteen minutes, then pound for fifteen minutes with a potato masher. The dough must be soft and velvety. Put it back in the bowl, stand in a warm place, 72 degrees Fahrenheit, until it has doubled its bulk and is very light. Turn it on a board and roll it out carefully in a sheet a quarter of an inch thick; cut with a large round cutter and, with a knife handle, make in the center of each cake a sort of hinge or depression, fold over one half and place them in a greased baking pan. When very light, bake in a quick oven fifteen minutes.
