Waffles (Quart of flour quart of sour)

1 quart of flour. 1 quart of sour cream (or buttermilk, if you have no cream). 6 eggs. 1 1/2 teaspoonful of soda. Half a tablespoonful of melted lard, poured in after the batter is mixed. This may be baked as flannel cakes or muffins.--Mrs. H. D.

Another Recipe for Waffles. 1 quart of flour. 6 eggs beaten very light. 1 1/2 pint of new milk. 2 teaspoonfuls of salt. 3 tablespoonfuls of yeast.

Set it to rise at night, and stir with a spoon, in the morning, just before baking. When you want them for tea, make them up in the morning, in winter, or directly after dinner, in summer.--Mrs. Dr. J.
