Old Fashioned Flannel Cakes

Ingredients:

4 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons of home-made yeast
Sufficient flour to make a stiff batter

Preparation:

• Heat 2 cups of milk and into it put two tablespoons of butter, let it melt, then add two cups of cold milk and the well-beaten yolks of four eggs—placing the whites in a cool place; add salt, four tablespoonfuls of home-made yeast and sufficient flour to make a stiff batter; set it in a warm place to rise; let it stand for about three hours or over night.
  
• Before baking add the beaten egg whites.
  
• Bake like any other griddle-cakes.
  

NOTE: Be sure to make the batter stiff enough, for flour must not be added after it has risen, unless it is allowed to rise again.
