Water Muffins

Ingredients

• 
  Four tablespoons of yeast 
• One pint of lukewarm water

• Pinch of salt 
• Muffin rings 

Directions

1. Put 4 tablespoons of good yeast into 1 pint of lukewarm water. 
2. Add a pinch of salt and stir gradually, adding sifted flour.
3. Mix the batter until it is thick, cover the pan, and set it in a warm place to rise.
4. Once the batter is a light, golden color, and the middle of the batter is hot, butter the insides of the muffin rings.
5. Grease and set the muffin rings on the batter. 
6. Put a sufficient amount of batter in each muffin ring until each ring is full.
