Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Take a quart of dough from your bread at a very early hour in the morning. Break three fresh eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Whip both the yolks and whites to a froth separately. Mix the frothed eggs with the dough, then gradually add milk-warm water until you make a batter the thickness of buckwheat cakes. Beat the batter well and set it to rise until near breakfast time.
  2. Have the griddle ready. Pour the batter onto the griddle to form quite round cakes. They do not require turning.
