*I found this recipe in a collector's cookbook. The original price for the book at the time of publication was $1.00! But this recipe is definitely one of my favorites. Updated for modern usage here.
2 cups scalded milk
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 pkg or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
51/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
Oven: 400º
In large bowl, combine butter, sugar and salt; add scalded milk, mixing
well. When lukewarm add the yeast which has been dissolved in 1/4-cup
lukewarm water along with 3 cups of flour. Beat well, cover and allow
to rise until a "sponge" rises. Beat down and add remaining flour.
Allow to rise a second time until doubled in bulk. On floured surface
roll 1/3 inch thick, cutting with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Press
crease in center, brush one half with some melted butter and press edges
together. Place on lightly greased baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart,
cover and allow to rise until doubled. Bake 15-20 minutes. Five minutes
before baking is done, brush with a mixture of 1 egg white and 2 tablespoons
milk. Return to oven to finish baking.
