Water Muffins

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of yeast
• salt
• flour
• 1 pint of lukewarm water

Directions

1. Put 4 tablespoons of yeast into 1 pint of lukewarm water.
2. Add in a little bit of salt to the mixture while gradually sifting in flour, enough of the flour to make the batter thick.
3. Cover the pan up and set it in a warm place to rise.
4. Once it is light while the middle is hot, grease and set your muffin rings on it.
5. Butter them around the inside and put a ladle of the batter in each ring.
6. Bake them over a quick fire.
7. When setting them out on the table, do not take them out; you want to split them apart with your hands.
