Wasps' Nest Cakes

Beat up six ounces of fresh butter, one egg, and three yolks. Add two spoonfuls of yeast, three spoonfuls of milk, and half a pound of flour. Make the mixture into a paste, roll it out thin, cut it into strips twelve inches long, and three broad. Strew thickly with currants, chopped almonds, sugar, and cinnamon; roll the strips up, put them in a buttered tin, and bake slowly. Strew with sugar, and serve.
