RUSKS (another way) (Take four eggs half a pint)

Take four eggs, half a pint each of new milk and warm water, a quarter of a pound of melted-butter, a quarter of a pound of sugar, and three table-spoonfuls of yeast. Beat these ingredients together with as much flour, added gradually, as will make a very light paste. Let it rise for half an hour before the fire, then add a little more flour, and form into small cakes or loaves five or six inches wide; flatten the cakes, bake them moderately, and when cold cut them into slices the size of rusks, and put them into the oven to brown a little. This is a nice tea-cake to eat hot, or, with caraways, to eat cold.
