Gaufres

Gaufres are made everywhere on holidays, sold hot on the streets in France. They are a very delicate sort of wafer, rich but crisp. Mix 1 pound of pastry flour with 6 eggs, add 1 pound fresh butter, melted till soft, 1 spoonful of yeast, and 1 pint of cream or rich milk. Beat all well and long. Set aside in a cold place 2 hours, pour into gaufre irons and serve hot, with sugar. Gaufre irons can be bought at the French hardware stores.
