Put a table-spoonful of butter into a quart of milk, and warm them
together till the butter has melted; then stir it well, and set it
away to cool. Beat five eggs as light as possible, and stir them
into the milk in turn with three pints of sifted flour; add a
small tea-spoonful of salt, and a large table-spoonful and a half
of the best fresh yeast. Set the pan of batter near the fire to
rise; and if the yeast is good, it will be light in three hours.
Then bake it on a griddle in the manner of buckwheat cakes. Send
them to table hot, and cut across into four pieces. This batter
may be baked in waffle-irons. If so, send to table with the cakes
powdered white sugar and cinnamon.
