1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 yeast cakes
1/4 cup water (lukewarm)
5 cups flour

Heat milk, sugar, salt and butter and let cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in water in separate bowl. Stir into milk mixture. Add eggs and half of flour, mix thoroughly; then add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead a few minutes and let rise. Roll out 1/2 inch thick dough. Cut into diamond or round shapes and let rise then deep fry until golden brown.
