Boil and finely mash potatoes. Add melted lard, butter, sugar, and
salt. Scald milk, then cool to tepid. Dissolve yeast in milk. Add
beaten egg and yolk and stir into potato mixture. Then gradually add
the flour. Knead 8 to 10 mins and place in a large greased bowl.
Cover with a tea towel, set in a warm place, and allow to rise. When
doubled in bulk, remove to a floured board and work into a smooth
dough, kneading lightly. Roll out dough about 1/2-inch thick and cut
with a small biscuit cutter. Brush each biscuit with additional
melted butter and put in butter pans. Cover with a tea towel, place
in a warm spot, and let rise until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to
425 F. Bake biscuits 12 to 15 mins or until golden. These are
delicious; serve hot with butter and jam. Yield: about 3 dozen
biscuits.
