Buckwheat Cakes

Ingredients

• 1/2 pint of buckwheat flour
• 1/4 pint of corn meal
• 1/4 pint of wheat flour
• a little salt
• 2 eggs beaten very light
• 1 quart of new milk (made a little warm and mixed with the eggs before the flour is put in)
• 1 tablespoonful of butter or sweet lard
• 2 large tablespoonfuls of yeast

Instructions

Set it to rise at night for the morning. If in the least sour, stir in before baking just enough soda to correct the acidity. A very nice, but more expensive, recipe.
