Heat your waffle-iron; then grease it well, and pour in some of the batter. Shut the iron tight, and bake the waffle on both sides, by turning the iron.

SOFT MUFFINS.


Five eggs.
A quart of milk.
Two ounces of butter.
A tea-spoonful of salt.
Two large table spoonfuls of brewer's yeast, or four of home-made yeast.
Enough of sifted flour to make a stiff a batter.


Warm the milk and butter together, and add to them the salt. Beat the eggs very light, and stir them into the milk and butter. then stir in the yeast, and lastly, sufficient flour to make a thick batter.

Cover the mixture, and set it to rise, in a warm place, about three hours.
