Cinnamon Wafers

Sift six ounces of finely-powdered white sugar, place it in an earthenware basin with six or eight ounces of flour, half an ounce of powdered cinnamon and six ounces of melted butter and one well beaten egg. Mix all these with a small quantity of milk to a thin paste. Heat an iron plate very hot, rub it over well with butter, put on it a teaspoonful of paste, fry to a good brown, turn it and fry the opposite side brown also; then roll it round a small stick. Proceed in this way, frying the opposite side brown also; then roll it round a small stick. Proceed in this way, frying the paste and rolling it round the stick till all are done. Let the wafers get quite cold before removing the sticks.
