Instructions: This batter must be made in the early evening and set to rise in a warm place until morning. Mix together the dissolved yeast cake, mashed potatoes and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Let stand for four hours. To the scalded milk, add the butter and stir until melted. When cool add the eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, and salt and combine with the yeast mixture. Sift in the flour and knead thoroughly. Cover and let rise in a warm place until morning. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick, brush the dough with melted butter and cut in 2 inch squares. Turn up the four corners toward the center. Place on a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart and let rise until light. Bake at 450-F for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot with plenty of coffee.
