List of Ingredients

2 c Milk; scalded
1 Yeast cake
Flour
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Butter; melted
pn Cardamom
1 c Raisins
3/4 c Citron; chopped
1 ts Salt



Recipe

Let milk cool; add yeast and enough flour to make
a sponge, about 1 - 2 cups. Put in a warm place
and let raise good, about an hour. Then add to it
sugar, butter, cardamom, raisins, citron and salt.
Mix well. Gradually add enough flour to knead into
a stiff dough. Let raise again good (another hour)
and then make into 2 round loaves. Let raise
again; bake at 350° degrees for about 50 minutes. A
raised nut bread can be made with this recipe by
omitting the raisins and citron and adding 1 1/2
cups chopped walnuts.
