Take 1 quart of warm milk, ½ cup of yeast, 1 teaspoonful of salt and flour enough to make a stiff batter; let stand to raise until light. Then add ½ cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little water; add enough flour to make a very stiff batter and let raise half an hour. Then fill well-greased muffin-rings half full with the batter and bake in a quick oven until done. Serve with butter.
