Roll out the dough in strips as long and wide as your hand, spread with butter and roll up like a pocketbook. Put them in buttered tins, and, when they are light, bake them a light brown--_Mrs. L. C. C._
TURNOVERS.
1 quart of flour. 1 large Irish potato, boiled and mashed. 3 eggs. 1 tablespoonful of butter or lard. 2 tablespoonfuls of yeast. 1 teacup of milk.
Rub the potato in the flour, then the lard and other ingredients, making it into a soft dough. Then set it to rise, at night if you wish it for breakfast next morning. Early in the morning, take off a piece of dough, the size of a biscuit, roll it out, about five inches long, then turn it about half over. When you have made up all the dough, in shapes like this, place them on a dish or board, cover with a napkin and set aside for a second rising. When ready to bake, dip a feather in water and pass over them to prevent the crust being too hard. If the dough should be sour, knead in a little soda, which will correct it--_Mrs. A. C._
