Scald the milk, and add the sugar and salt, and let it cool. Add the flour and the yeast-cake, which has been dissolved in 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Cover, and let it rise overnight ; and then add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 egg well-beaten, the grated rind of 1 lemon, and flour enough to knead.

Did we eath them? Yes
Would I make them again? Yes
Note: I used the amount of yeast as instructed on the jar I was using.
APPLE, CRESS, AND CELERY SALAD
Celery,
Watercress,
Apple,
French dressing.
Arrange on individual service plates, a bed of shredded celery and cress. In the center stand a tart tender apple, which has been pared, sliced and cored with a slender knife, so as to retain its original shape. Tuck a bit of the cress in the top of the apple, and pour over all a French dressing. Do not pare the apple till almost ready to serve, as it will discolor with waiting.
West India Pilau

Onion , 1 small
