Excerpt from Buckeye Cookery, and Practical Housekeeping: Compiled From Original Recipes This is made from warm water or milk, yeast and flour (some add mashed potatoes), mixed together in proper proportions. In summer, care must be taken not to set sponge too early, at least not before eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Make up a rather thick batter of flour and tepid water or milk. (sponge mixed with bran water, warm in winter and cold in summer, makes sweeter bread. Boil bran in the proportion of one pint to a quart of water and strain.) When milk is used, scald to prevent souring, and cool before using; add yeast, cover closely, and place to rise on the kitchen table In very hot weather, Sponge can be made with cold water. In Winter, mix the batter with water or milk at blood warmth, testing it with the finger, and making it as warm as can be borne; stir' in the flour, which will cool it sufficiently for the yeast; cover closely and place in a warm and even temperature. A good plan is to fold a clean blanket several times, and cover with it, providing the sponge is set in a very large crock or jar, so that there is no danger of its running over. As a general rule, one small tea-cup of yeast and three pints of wetting will make sponge enough for four ordinary leaves. In all sponges add the yeast last, making sure that it will not be'scalded when placed to rise, always cover closely. Many think it an improvement to beat the sponge thoroughly, like batter for a cake. All the various sponges are very nice baked on a griddle for breakfast-cakes, or, better still, in muffin-rings. When used in this way, add a little salt and make the Sponge rather thick. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
