Oatmeal Bread

Rub a quarter of a pound of butter into a pound and a half of flour and when it is smooth mix in two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, a saltspoonful of salt and half a pound of oatmeal. When they are thoroughly mixed make a well in the center, in which place two tablespoonfuls of brewers' yeast, cover this over with a cloth and stand to rise for an hour. Afterward work the mixture up with enough warm milk to form a dough, divide it into portions and mould it into cakes. When they are cooked split the cakes open, butter them, close them again, put them on a hot dish, and serve quickly.
