Velvet Rolls

Three pints of flour. Two eggs. One teacup of sweet milk. One teacup of yeast. 1 tablespoonful of lard, and the same of butter.

Mix well and beat the dough till it blisters.

Let it rise, work in a small quantity of flour, beat as before and make into rolls. After the second rising, bake quickly.--Mrs. Dr. S.
