The Dixie Cook-Book

Biscuit (Dissolve one rounded)

Dissolve one rounded table-spoon of butter in a pint of hot milk; when lukewarm stir in one quart of flour, add one beaten egg, a little salt, and a tea-cup of yeast; work into dough until smooth.

If winter, set in a warm place; if summer, in a cool one to rise. In rise.

In the morning work softly and roll out one-half inch and cut into biscuit and set to rise for thirty minutes, when they will be ready to bake. These are delicious.
