Love Cakes

Take four eggs, a tea-cupful of yeast, half a pint of milk, a pound and a half of flour, one pound of butter, half a pound of sifted sugar. Beat the eggs with the yeast and warm milk, make a hollow in the centre of the flour, pour in the mixture; knead this dough, and add the butter by degrees. Let it stand for an hour or more, to rise, then add the sugar, and bake in small buttered cake-tins. The tops of the cakes may be ornamented with citron-peel.
