Excerpt from A Practical Cook Book Compiled From the Choicest Recipes of Many Good Housewives "Ne'er speak ill o'them who's bread ye eat." Bread. - Sift three pounds of flour into a dish; put in two teaspoonfuls of salt, two teaspoonfuls of fine white sugar; heat one pint of milk and melt therein two tablespoonfuls of lard. Make a hole in the center of the flour, and stir in the hot milk. Put in four tablespoonfuls of cold water; stir the mixture in the center, and, when lukewarm, add a pint of yeast; stir all well together and knead the mass for fifteen minutes. Cover it and set it away for the night. In the morning, an hour before baking, put your loaves or rolls into a pan, and bake them for about one half an hour, according to size. - An Old Housekeeper. Commence about 2 P. M. Take a tablespoonful of mashed potatoes, one cup of flour and a little hot water to make it thin, add a piece of butter (size of a walnut), let it cool; then put in your yeast, and let it stand in the kitchen until bedtime; then take full quart of quite hot water and stir in flour until thick as griddle-cakes; then stir in yeast mixture and beat well. Let it stand in warm room until morning; then add salt, and mix in flour slowly, and mould a long time. Do not make too stiff with flour; then let it rise. When light, make into loaves and rise again, and then bake. Do not make loaves large and there will be enough for rolls and two loaves of bread.
