Use one cup to about three pounds of flour, or one quart of liquid, when setting sponge for bread.

Save one cup of this yeast to start fresh yeast with.
PERFECTION POTATO CAKES 1 cup of boiled mashed potatoes.
1 cup sweet milk.
1 cup water in which 1 Fleischman yeast cake was dissolved.
2 cups soft A sugar.
1/2 cup butter and lard mixed.
2 eggs.
A little salt.
About 7 cups of flour.
Cream the sugar, butter and eggs together.

Add mashed potatoes, milk and cup of water containing yeast, alternately with the flour, until about 7 cups of flour have been used, making a dough as stiff as can be stirred with a spoon.
