DOUGHNUTS IN RHYME
One cup of sugar, brown or white;
Now add 1 egg and beat it light;
A little salt with spice to taste;
Yeast powder, too, must now be placed,
Three teaspoons -- that bought of Slade
I find as good as any made.
One cup of milk, now stir together --
They will prove as light as any feather.
Just flour enough to roll them out,
But you must mind what you're about,
And keep your lard at proper heat.
You'll find these doughnuts hard to beat.
From: Mrs. George Beal
