1 pt. milk, scalded
2/3 c. shortening

2 tsp. salt
2-3 c. flour

Crumble and add 2 cakes compressed yeast. Let stand 5 minutes. Mix well. Add 2 beaten eggs, then 3-4 cups flour. Beat thoroughly. Add 2-3 cups flour, enough to make a very stiff batter that can just be beaten with a spoon. Beat to a smooth batter. Let rise until double in bulk. Stir down and put into square or round pans with 1 1/2 to 2 inch sides. Use 3 pans 10-inch square. Cover with Streusel.

1/2 c. sugar (brown or white)
1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon, if desired
Grated lemon or orange rind and nuts may be added

Mix flour and sugar together, work in butter, chill, crumble. Let batter rise until double in bulk. Bake at 375 to 400 degrees.
