Rub together half a pound of butter, and two pounds of flour, add one pound of sugar, five eggs, a teaspoon of saleratus, a wine-glass of brandy, essence of lemon, or spices to your personal taste, and enough milk to make the dough of a proper consistency to roll it out half an inch thick. Cut it into pieces the size of an ordinary doughnut, and boil them in hot lard. Turn them frequently while boiling.
