Baps

Sift 4 pounds of flour into a basin, melt 4 ounces of butter in 1/2 pints of sweet milk, make a space in the center of the flour and pour in the milk, add I teacupful of fresh yeast, mix and stir well, then add I dessert-spoonful of salt, and 2 well-beaten eggs and stir them well into flour and let stand in a warm place for six hours. Then beat it up one way with your hand for fifteen minutes and form the rolls with as little flour as possible. You may put this dough in small pans or form into round rolls, bake them in a hot oven for twenty minutes, and brush them over with a little water when you take them out of the oven.
