WHEAT CAKES. One pint sour milk, teaspoon soda, a little salt, two eggs, flour to make a thin batter. WAFFLES. If you want your waffles for tea, take one quart warm milk after dinner ; put in two eggs, beaten ; a small piece of but- ter; a small cup of yeast. Mix with flour a little thicker than wheat pancakes. Set by warm stove and they will be light for tea. Baked in waffle irons, greased. Mrs. J. H. Hurd. WAFFLES.
