Flannel Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 table-spoonful of butter
• 1 quart of milk
• 5 eggs
• 3 pints of sifted flour
• 1 small tea-spoonful of salt
• 1 1/2 large table-spoonfuls of the best fresh yeast

Instructions

Put butter into the milk, and warm them together till the butter has melted; then stir it well, and set it away to cool. Beat the eggs as light as possible, and stir them into the milk in turn with the flour; add salt and yeast. Set the pan of batter near the fire to rise; and if the yeast is good, it will be light in three hours. Then bake it on a griddle in the manner of buckwheat cakes. Send them to table hot, and cut across into four pieces. This batter may be baked in waffle-irons. If so, send to table with the cakes powdered white sugar and cinnamon.
