Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of flour
• 2 ounces of butter
• whites of 2 eggs
• 1 table-spoonful of yest
• 4 table-spoonfuls of cream
• yolk of 1 egg
• 1 pint of milk, rather more than new milk warm

Instructions

Take the flour; divide it; put one half into a deep pan; rub the butter into the flour; the whites whisked to a high froth; add the yest, cream, yolk, milk. Mix the above together into a lather; beat it for ten minutes; then cover it, and set it before the fire for two hours to rise. Mix in the other half of the flour, and set it before the fire for a quarter of an hour. These rolls must be baked in earthenware cups, rubbed with a little butter, and not more than half filled with dough; they must be baked a quarter of an hour in a very hot oven.
