    “Long ago the people used griddle bread.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people used griddle bread. The place they bake the bread is called a bake house. They bake the bread with flour and bran and new milk. There are no grind stones in this village. Pancakes are made on a special night on the first of November. It is also called bottle night. Potatoe cake is still made. The people put a cross on the cake when they are baking it. In this district they use a ? knife to see is the bread baked.
