Raised Waffles

At night mix together one pint of lukewarm milk in which two tablespoonfuls of butter have been melted, two tablespoonfuls of liquid yeast, or half a small cake of compressed yeast dissolved in one gill of water, two well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, and about one pound of flour. When this batter is thoroughly mixed, cover it, and stand it over night in a warm place. In the morning, heat a waffle-iron, butter it, put in the batter without stirring it down, and then bake the waffles. Serve with butter and powdered sugar.
