If a deep fat frying pan catches fire never throw water over it, if you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan.
Never leave your cooking unattended. Even if the phone or doorbell rings. Remember - fires start when your attention stops.
Scald milk. Let cool until lukewarm. Add yeast. Cream butter or margarine with sugar. Add beaten eggs. Now to the butter mixture alternate flour and milk until used up.
