One and one-half yeast cakes,

Three eggs,

Three tablespoonfuls of sugar,

One teaspoonful of salt,

One pint of milk,

Three tablespoonfuls of butter.

Cover the yeast with cold water; beat the eggs until light; heat the milk scalding hot; pour the hot milk over the beaten egg; add the sugar and salt and allow it to stand until cool (about 80 degrees); add the yeast, and flour enough to make a soft dough; turn out on a well-floured bread board and knead until smooth; put into a buttered bowl; cover and let rise three hours,or until light; soften the butter and mix it thoroughly into the dough; allow it to rise again for two hours; roll into a sheet one inch in thickness and put into a buttered pan; spread with melted butter, dredge with sugar and cinnamon and let rise one hour; bake in a moderate oven thirty-five minutes.
