Six pounds of flour.
One pint and a half of new milk.
Six ounces of butter.
A cup and a half of sugar.
A teaspoonful of salt.
Six eggs, and half a pint of distillery yeast, or twice as much home-brewed.
Melt the butter in the milk, and beat the eggs. Then add all the ingredients, set it to rise, and when very light, mould it into small biscuits, and bake in a quick oven.
