No eggs needed, and raised with yeast

3 cups flour - 12 ounces. 2 1/2 cups water and yeast. 1 tablespoon melted lard. 1 tablespoon syrup.

1/2 teaspoon salt

The yeast may be either 1/2 cup of po-tato yeast or ferment, or 1/2 a yeast cake in so much water. Sift the flour into a pan, make a hollow in the middle, strain in the yeast and water, stir around to mix in the flour gradually and when all melted without being lumpy add the other ingredients and beat thoroughly. Let stand in a warm place to rise 6 hours, beat up again and bake. When the cakes are for breakfast mix the batter over night with cold water according to the weather.

Cost of material - flour and yeast 3, lard and syrup 2, 5 cents for 3 pints, 24 cakes or 8 orders. See remarks about buckwheat cakes. The cakes cost nothing relatively, it is the syrup, butter, and made of baking that make the expense.
