About three o'clock
If the omens were favorable , a cup of warm water and a variable quantity of carefully warmed flour were added , and a batter made of about the consistency for fritters . This was set up behind the funnel again , to rise till noon . More flour was then added and the dough carefully worked and set for a third rising . About three o'clock it was put in tins and baked in an even oven . The favorite loaves with us were `` cart-wheels , '' formed by putting the dough in large , round , shallow tin plates , about a foot in diameter . When baked , the yellow-brown , crackery loaf was only an inch thick . The rule at Gram 's table was a `` cart-wheel '' to a boy , with all the fresh Jersey butter and canned berries or fruit that he wanted with it .
