Butter Semmels (a Moravian "companies" Delicacy)

Children are rude because they are so naturally egocentric. It’s their needs, their comforts, their feelings that they demand be met- usually at the expense of weary parents. Of course, self-centeredness is natural, expected behavior in infancy and tolerable in toddlers, but it becomes downright unbearable in school-age children. Proper manners can be a most effective tool in teaching children that they are not the center of the universe. And as the realization grows, they will be well on their way to becoming civilized rather than savage (Kent and Barbara Hughes).

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

minutes. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle  with
powdered sugar. Serve hot with plenty of coffee. Source:  Pennsylvania
