Zweibach

Sift through a tamis into a bowl half a pound of flour, and set it in a warm place to heat moderately. While this is doing make half a glass of milk just lukewarm, with a quarter of a pound of butter, a little sugar, and a pinch of salt. When this is well mixed, add the flour, stirring it well in with the yolks of two and the white of one egg. When well incorporated add a tea-spoonful of yeast passed through a tamis. The paste should be of a consistency fit to roll with the hands; if it is too soft more flour may be added until the requisite density is attained. Roll the paste into round balls, which, when baked, should be about the size of billiard balls. Bake in a quick oven.
