Two cups of scalded milk, one-quarter of a cup of butter, one-quarter of a cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one yeast cake dissolved in one-quarter of a cup of lukewarm water, flour, one egg, yolks of two eggs, whites of two eggs, three-quarters of a teaspoonful of vanilla.

Add butter, sugar, and salt to scalded milk; when lukewarm add dissolved yeast cake and three cups of flour. Cover and let rise; add egg and egg yolks well beaten, and enough flour to knead. Let rise, again, and shape as Parker House rolls. Before baking, make three parallel creases on top of each roll. When nearly done, brush over with whites of eggs beaten slightly, diluted with one tablespoonful of cold water and vanilla. Sprinkle with sugar.
