2 large cups milk or water.
2-cent cake compressed yeast.
5^ cup melted butter or lard.
4 or 5 eggs, or yolks left over.
Salt.
Dissolve the yeast in the milk (or water)
lukewarm ; stir up_ all to a thick batter
i and beat it well with a large egg whip or
I spoon. Let rise in a moderately warm
place about 4 hours, beat up again half
an hour before baking time. If you use
potato yeast a cupful will be required.
If mixed at 2 o'clock in summer the bat-
ter will be ready to bake at 6.
Anyone who has made muffins out of
the roll dough as at No. 582; can take the
same advantage making waffle batter,
using about 4 cups of roll dough, warm
milk to thin it down like batter cakes and
the enriching ingredients the same as in
this receipt. It will be ready to bake in
an hour after, if warm.
Any kind of batter cake mixture can
be baked in waffle irons if they are in
good order and not burnt, and waffles
can be made without eggs if the same as
batter cakes, but when they stick to the
irons the remedy is to add an egg or two,
and waffles without eggs cannot be baked
in much haste but must have time and
dry out of the irons. Syrup or sugar in
the^ batter causes them to bake brown.
It is a vast improvement and prevents
sticking to beat the batter very thor-
oughly.
Make the waffle irons hot, put in a tea-
spoonful of melted lard and turn over,
pour batter in each compartment, shut
up and bake both sides. Waflies are
known only by the name of wafers in
some places.
