Raised Waftiles

13/4 cups milk 1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour
1 tablespoon butter Yolks 2 eggs
1/4 yeast cake 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.

Fried Drop Cakes

21/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoons salt 1 egg

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.

Rye Drop Cakes

2/3 cup rye meal 1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup flour 2 tablespoons molasses
21/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup milk
