Two pounds of flour, one quart of milk, four eggs well beaten, and two ounces of melted butter. Beat the eggs, stir in the milk and butter, then add the flour. Beat the batter till quite smooth, then add yeast sufficient to make it rise.
Boil two gills of rice till soft, mix with it three gills of flour, a little salt, two ounces of melted butter, two eggs well beaten, and as much milk as will make a thick batter. Beat it till light, and bake in waffle irons.
To a pound and a half of flour, add a quarter of a pound of melted butter, two or three teaspoonfuls of good yeast, three eggs well beaten, and, if the yeast is not salt enough, add a little salt. Let it rise, and bake in waffle irons. Be careful to grease the irons thoroughly, and bake the cakes a rich brown. Some prefer to raise the batter by adding soda and sour milk, in that case there is no need of yeast.
Make a batter of the yellow of three eggs, half a cup of melted butter, one quart of milk, and as much flour as will thicken it, then add half a pint of sour milk, in which is dissolved one teaspoonful of soda and two of cream of tartar. Put in the whites of the egg well beaten, and bake immediately.
Three eggs, one pint of milk, one teaspoonful of butter, and as much flour as will make a batter. Beat the yolks and whites separately. Melt the butter, and while lukewarm, stir it into the milk. Whisk the yolks very light, add to the milk and flour alternately, beat it well, lastly stir in the whites, which must be whisked very dry. The batter should not be beaten after the whites are in. Grease your waffle irons after having heated them, fill them nearly full of the batter, close them and place them over the fire - turn the irons so as to bake the waffles on both sides - when done take it out and butter it. These must be baked the moment they are mixed.
A quarter of a pound of butter, one pound of flour, four eggs, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Make these ingredients into a batter with milk. Heat your wafer irons, grease them well with butter, and as soon as the wafers are baked they should be rolled. Sift sugar over them.
