This is from an old Pillsbury cookbook that is falling apart. I don't have the front cover and part of the pages are torn. So, I'm going to share these before the book is completely destroyed. I wrote out the recipe as it is written.
Ingredients:
1 quart potato water
1 dried yeast cake or 1/2 compressed, or 1/4 cup homemade
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbs salt
3 quarts flour
Directions:
1. Drain water from potatoes at noon, let cool until lukewarm, add sugar and yeast cake dissolved in 1/4 cup lukewarm water, leave this to raise in warm place until next morning, add 1 TBS salt and enough flour (about 3 quarts) to make a dough just stiff enough not to stick tothe hands or board; let raise in warm place until 2 1/2 times its sized, then put in pans and let raise again 2 1/2 times its size, bake in a moderate oven. May knead dough down once if desired, but not necessary.
2. NOTE: In boiling let the water come up tot he molds 2/3 of their height, and when it boils away add more boiling water.
