Take one-half cake of compressed yeast, three pints of flour, one and a half cups of sweet milk, one cup of butter (melted), one tablespoon of lard, a little salt, three eggs, beaten separately. Mix as for cake, let it rise, then put it in deep jelly pans and let it rise again; bake in a moderately hot oven. When done, split open and butter each piece, laying one piece upon the other. Serve while hot.
