Maa's Sally Lunn (or Lund...seems either is used)
| 1 cup milk 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 lb. butter 3 eggs 4 cups flour |
3/4 t. salt 1 yeast cake (or pack of dry yeast. Probably not the "new" rapid rise type) 1/4 cup warm water |
Scald milk, add butter. When lukewarm add eggs and beat. Dissolve yeast in water. Add to milk mixture. Sift flour, sugar and salt. Add 1/2 to milk mixture and beat with a wooden spoon. (Why wooden?) Add rest of flour. Put into greased bowl, cover, and let rise till double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Divide into 2 loaves and let rise till double. Bake at 350 - I don't remember how long.
