TO MAKE wAFFLEs.
One quart OF milk, three pints of
-four, four ounces of lard, four ounces of
butter, six eggs, half gill of yeast. In
this recipe l should make no reduction
of flour on account of the eggs used, be-
cause of the quantity of the butter and
lard; but in this, one quart of milk,
three pints of -four, four eggs, and four
ounces of butter, 1 should take light
measures of flour; -four should always be
sifted before it is measured; and the
measure should not he heaped. These
last waffles are very nice, and are made
in this manner: Add the flour to the
cold milk and beat thoroughly; melt the
butter and add by degrees; separate the
eggs, adding one yolk at q time, and
beating it thoroughly into the butter be-
fore adding another. Lastly, add the
whites, beaten to a stiff froth; bake i'm
mediately. If well beaten these arr
good either as waf1es or griddle- cakes
This recipe is also very good made ove1
night and raised with a gill of yeast. Ii
that case add butter and eggs in tn,
morning, snd you can also vary by some
times using baking powder. AS ,
general rule in making all kinds of bat
ter cakes, beat the yolks of the eggs will
the batter and the whites separately, ad
ding them last.
