To make a bread that is delicious and is called fried scones take some fine and good flour and stir it with some yeast. In a hot pan mix milk and sugar with some butter and salt. And when it is mixed thereto with that flour you shall tread these things like dough. And then when that dough is risen that dough shall be pressed down flat and thin. You shall do that dough in a very good pan with oil that is boiled. Fry you the dough brown and do it on both sides and when it is boiled and brown do it in a cloth so that it is dry. And then do hit so that hit is covered with sugar and cinnamon and then serve forth.
