If set at night use half the quantity of
yeast.
KAFFEE KUCHEN (CINNAMON)
Butter long and broad cake-pans thoroughly, roll out enough dough to
cover them, and let it rise about half an hour before baking, then brush
it well with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top and some
chopped almonds. Take a small lump of butter, a very little flour, some
sugar and cinnamon and rub it between the hands until it is like lumps
of almonds, then strew on top of cakes.
CINNAMON ROLLS OR SCHNECKEN
Take half the kitchen dough. Roll one-half inch thick and spread well
with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with scraped maple, brown or
granulated sugar and cinnamon, then roll. Cut the roll into equal parts
about one inch thick, place close together endwise in a spider,
generously buttered, spread with one-fourth inch layer of brown, or
maple sugar. Let rise until light, and bake ten to twenty minutes in a
hot oven, a golden brown. Invert the spider, remove rolls and serve
caramel side up.

Soak one-half ounce of yeast or one cake compressed yeast in a very

gradually the yolks of four eggs, one at a time and add also the grated
peel of a lemon. Sift two cups of flour into a bowl, make a depression
in the centre, pour in, the yeast, one cup of lukewarm milk, and make a
light batter of this. Add the creamed butter and eggs and stir until it
forms blisters and leaves the bowl clean. Take one-half cup of cleaned
and seeded dark raisins and cut up some citron very fine. Dredge flour
over them before adding, and if necessary, add more flour to the dough,
which should be of the consistency of cup cake batter. Last add the
stiffly-beaten whites of the eggs. Place in a well-greased long or round
pan with tube in centre; let rise until double in bulk, and bake in
moderate oven until browned and thoroughly done.
PLAIN BUNT OR NAPF KUCHEN
Take one cake compressed yeast, add a pinch of salt, one tablespoon of
sugar, and about two tablespoons of lukewarm water. Stir the yeast until
it is a smooth paste and set it in a warm place to rise. Sift two and
