A historical recipe

365 Luncheon Dishes: A Luncheon Dish for Every Day in the Year, by Anonymous (1902). Project Gutenberg eBook #24384.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 6 ingredients

  1. 1 cup of stewed
  2. 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar
  3. 1 teaspoonful of salt
  4. 1 tablespoonful of butter
  5. 1-1/2 cups of scalded milk
  6. 1/2 cup yeast

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Take 1 cup of stewed and strained squash, add to it 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar and 1 teaspoonful of salt;
  2. melt 1 tablespoonful of butter in 1-1/2 cups of scalded milk, and when lukewarm, add 1/2 cup yeast, and flour enough to knead;
  3. knead 1/4 hour, let rise until light;
  4. knead again and put it into greased tins, let rise again and bake.
