- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 pint milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 7 cups flour, sifted
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup yeast
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Warm the butter in milk. Add salt, sugar and sifted flour. Beat through and through. When the mixture is blood warm, add the eggs and yeast. Beat vigorously until the batter breaks in blisters. Set it to rise up overnight. When you awake the next day, dissolve the baking soda and stir it into the batter. Turn into a well-buttered, shallow dish to rise up again about 15-20 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Bake with love for about 15-20 minutes (be patient, you rascal).
The cake should be torn apart, not cut. Cutting with a knife makes warm bread heavy. Bake a light brown. This cake is frequently seen on Southern tables.
