1/4 c Lukewarm water	3 1/2 c All-purpose flour

Instructions for Dolley Madison Cakes

Boil the potatoes in 1 1/4 cup cold water, until tender. Strain and save 1 cup of the potato water. Mash the potatoes into a bowl. Let the potatoes and the reserved liquid cool. In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast into 1/4 cup water. Let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Melt 1/4 cup of the butter in a small saucepan. Put the reserved potato water, mashed potato, dissolved yeast, and melted butter into a large bowl. Add the salt and sugar and mix. Stir in half the flour and mix. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Dust the dough and your hands with flour and knead until it is very smooth and spongy. Then return the dough to a well-greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp dish cloth and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1- 1 1/2 hours, depending on the heat and humidity. Brush a baking sheet with melted butter. Melt an additional 1/4 cup butter and place in a mixing bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead with your hand about 15-20 seconds. Cover the dough and let rest about 5 minutes. Flour your hands and pinch pieces of dough about 1 inch in diameter, making about 30 pieces. Roll each ball in between your hands to form a ball. Dip each ball into melted butter and place on the baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place, about 40 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F. until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Brush tops lightly with butter and serve at once. ?1997 Adapted with permission of Gruner and Jahr USA Publishing ? 1997 Lifetime Entertainment Services. All rights reserved.
