Waffles

Take a tea-cupful of fresh butter, put it into a large bowl, and beat it to cream. Add three cupfuls of sugar, a pinch of salt, half a nutmeg, grated, a few drops of essence of lemon, three well-beaten eggs, half a tea-spoonful of baking-powder dissolved in a tea-spoonful of milk, and as much flour as will make a thick batter. Beat the mixture thoroughly. Heat the waffle-irons, rub them over with butter, and put into them one or two large spoonfuls of the mixture. Be careful to leave room for rising; close them, and put them over hot coals. Let them remain for six or eight minutes, then turn them over, and leave them a few minutes longer: if on opening them the cake is nicely browned, and will leave the irons easily, it is done enough, Probable cost, 1s. 6d. for this quantity.
