Yeast Cakes
- 1 pint of new milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of flour
Take 1 pint of new milk; in the morning add 1/2 teaspoon of salt; stir in, and beat for 1/2 minute, 2 tablespoons of flour; then place the pitcher in a kettle of lukewarm water, and where it will maintain heat, but not hot (about 110°). It takes about 5 hours for it to rise up. Instead of milk, water is sometimes, used,and then it is called salt rising. Mix the rising with a quart of lukewarm water and a little salt; make a stiff sponge, and let it rise again, then mold and put in the pans to bake.
