French Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 cups of sweet milk
• 1 cup of butter and lard, mixed in equal proportions
• 1/2 cup of good yeast, or 1/2 cake of compressed yeast
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• flour
• 2 well-beaten eggs

Instructions

Mix sweet milk, butter and lard, yeast, and salt. Add flour enough to make a stiff dough. Let it rise over night; in the morning, add the eggs; knead thoroughly and let it rise again. With the hands, make it into balls as large as an egg; then roll between the hands to make long rolls (about three inches). Place close together in even rows on well-buttered pans. Cover and let them rise again, then bake in a quick oven to a delicate brown.
