TASTY MAPLE SUGAR ROLLS

Confection That Is'a Luxury Where the Supply of the Saccharine Delicacy Is Assured. In maple sugar regions delicious little baking powder biscuit or rolls are made of this saccharine delicacy. To make the rolls take a quart of bread dough after it is molded for the last rising and knead into it one cupful of grated maple sugar, a quarter teaspoonful of soda and a teaspoonful of butter. Let it rise, again and cut out in small rolls. Let these rise for fifteen minutes and bake in a quick oven. In making maple biscuit prepare an exceptionally rich, tender baking powder crust. Roll out about half the thickness of an ordinary biscuit and shape with a small cutter much larger than a silver dollar. The top to a small baking powder can or the cover to a tea caddy make good cutters. As each biscuit is cut out, cut in halves again, sprinkle email bits of the maple sugar over one-half of the biscuit dough, moisten the other half and press it over the first. Lay close together in the pan in which they are to be baked, so they will rise instead of spreading. Brush over with milk or melted butter and bake in a quick oven until they are brown but not hard. Serve as soon as ready.
