Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your milk is scalded but cooled to lukewarm before mixing with other ingredients to activate the yeast properly. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. You can also incorporate spices like nutmeg or cardamom for extra flavor, reminiscent of recipes like Blackwood Hall Muffins.

Serve them alongside savory dishes for dinner, making them an excellent accompaniment to roasted meats or soups. They also make a delightful treat with coffee or tea, much like Mom's Butter Cookies.
