Bread Cakes, Fried, American

To five tea-cupfuls of light dough add half a cupful of butter, three of brown sugar, a tea-spoonful of salt, four eggs, and a little grated nutmeg. Knead these well together with flour, and let them rise before the fire until very light. Knead the dough again after it rises; cut it into diamond-shaped cakes; let them rise; and fry in lard or dripping, as soon as light. These cakes must be served as soon as they are ready.
