List of Ingredients




Recipe By : Old family recipe

1 Cup hot mashed potatoes
1 Cup white sugar
3/4 Tsp salt
1 Package dry yeast
1 Cup warm water or scalded milk
1/2 Cup butter -- melted
1/4 Cup lard -- melted
2 eggs -- beaten
4 Cups flour
~
1/2 Cup butter -- cold
1 Lb light brown sugar
cinnamon to taste (optional)

Combine sugar with potatoes, mashing to dissolve. Dissolve yeast in the
water and add to the potato mixture. Stir in the salt, lard and eggs. Add
flour and mix until smooth. Cover and let rise for 5 or more hours (or
overnight).

Spoon batter 1/2" deep into two greased 13x9" cake tins. Let them rise for
an hour, until puffy. Poke indentations 1" apart into the surface, but not
too deep. Put chips of cold butter in the holes, and push down with some
brown sugar (these are called butter holes). Sprinkle the rest of the brown
sugar on the surface, and lightly with cinnamon. Bake at 350F / 180C for 25
minutes. Let cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing
