Raised Waffles

1-3/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 yeast cake
1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 cups flour
Yolks 2 eggs
Whites 2 eggs

Scald milk; add salt and butter, and when lukewarm, add yeast cake dissolved in water, and flour. Beat well; let rise over night; add yolks of eggs well beaten, and whites of eggs beaten stiff. Cook same as Waffles. By using a whole yeast cake, the mixture will rise in one and one-half hours.

Beat egg until light; add milk, dry ingredients mixed and sifted, and melted butter. Drop by spoonfuls in hot, new, deep fat; fry until light brown and cooked through, which must at first be determined by piercing with a skewer, or breaking apart. Remove with a skimmer, and drain on brown paper.

2/3 cup rye meal
2/3 cup flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
