Ingredients

  • half teaspoonful of salt
  • a cupful of yellow meal in a quart of boiling milk
  • a quart of boiling milk
  • a tablespoonful of molasses
  • a teaspoonful of soda
  • one half at a time
  • salt

Directions

1

Scald a cupful of yellow meal in a quart of boiling milk. Add a half teaspoonful of salt; when cold add a quarter of a compressed yeast-cake, and enough buckwheat flour to make a soft batter. Beat it well together. Let it rise over night. In the morning stir in a tablespoonful of molasses and a teaspoonful of soda. Although the above method is the old and better way, these cakes can be made in the morning, and baking-powder used instead of yeast; in which case divide the batter, and add the baking-powder, one half at a time.
