Butter Rolls for Tea

Put half a pound of light bread dough into a basin, mix in a little sugar, a lump of butter, the yolk of an egg and half a teacupful of cream, together with some flour. Let it rise in a warm temperature for a couple of hours, then knead well on a floured table for several minutes until the dough is full of air bubbles and of a light and silky appearance. Make into round balls, and when all are finished, lay them flat, brush half of them with melted butter, and put the other half on top, press in the center, and brush over the surfaces with melted butter, setting them one side to rise again. Then put them in a moderate oven, and bake them for fifteen or twenty minutes; take out, cut into halves, butter them inside, and serve hot.
