Canadian Buns (Over Night)

Set a sponge overnight a yeast cake dissolved in 1 cup lukewarm water stirred into 2 cups Five Roses flour. In the morning, add 2 eggs, a little salt, 1 tablespoon sugar. Beat all together with a spoon, then add flour to make stiff dough. Knead well 15 minutes, then stand in warm place and let rise till very light. Work in with the hands ½ cup soft butter, and let rise.

When light, shape into buns. Put close together in baking pan, and put in a warm place to rise. When light, bake in moderate oven till a nice brown. Brush top with a little sugar dissolved in milk.

Note-A pleasing variety may be obtained by adding ¼ pound of shredded cocoanut. This should be done when the eggs are being added and after the dough has risen--preferably in the morning. Or, if preferred, cinnamon, candied peel, raisins, or other fruit may be added to suit taste.
