Parker-House Rolls

1 cake compressed yeast 1 pint milk, scalded and cooled 2 level tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons melted lard or butter 3 pints sifted flour 1 level teaspoon salt Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk; add lard or butter and half the flour. Beat until perfectly smooth; cover and let rise in a warm place one hour, or until light. Then add remainder of flour, or enough to make a dough, and the salt. Knead well; place in greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place for about one and a half hours, or until double in bulk. Roll out one fourth inch thick; brush over lightly with butter; cut with two-inch biscuit-cutter; crease through center heavily with dull edge of knife, and fold over in pocket-book shape. Place in well-greased, shallow pans, one inch apart. Cover and let rise until light-about three quarters of an hour. Bake ten minutes in hot oven.-
