Excellent Buns

Ingredients

• One pint of potato bread sponge
• one-half pint sweet milk
• three-fourths of a cup of sugar
• three-fourths of a cup of butter
• four eggs

Method

1. 1

   Beat in flour that will make a stiff batter that will drop free from a spoon, let rise, then work on the board as you do bread dough, let rise again, then be careful to only have enough flour now to keep it from sticking to the board, roll out and cut about as thick as biscuits.

2. 2

   Place in the greased pan about an inch apart, let rise, then take a little milk and sugar mixed together, and with a feather brush over the tops with the mixture, and return to the oven to dry.
