Nut Cakes (Fried)

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 ounce of sifted sugar
• 2 ounces of warmed butter
• 2 tablespoonfuls of yeast
• 1 teacupful of luke-warm milk
• salt
• 1 pound of flour

Instructions

Beat eggs well, add to them sifted sugar, warmed butter, yeast, luke-warm milk and a little salt. Whip all well together, then stir in by degrees flour, and, if requisite, more milk, making thin dough. Beat it until it falls from the spoon, then set it to rise. When it has risen make butter or lard hot in a frying pan, cut from the light dough little pieces the size of a walnut, and, without molding or kneading, fry them pale brown. As they are done lay them on a napkin to absorb any of the fat.
