BUCKWHEAT CAKES FOR TWO.

By Leaving a Starter, They Can Be Kept Going for Several Weeks. One quart lukewarm water, one tablespoonful cornmeal, one teaspoonful sugar, one-half cake of compressed yeast, one cupful buckwheat flour, one cupful white flour; let rise over night; In morning add one teaspoonful salt. Leave two-thirds cupful of batter for starter, and put In cool place until following night, when you repeat as before, with the exception of the yeast (which you do not need again), and the sugar. The second morning turn out the batter you want to use In another dish and add the salt and sugar and a pinch of soda. If any of this batter is left do not put back with the starter, as it is not good to keep after the soda is in it. By leaving a starter each time and doing as directed, these cakes can be kept going for several weeks, but be sure and not put in salt until just before baking, and they will always be light This recipe is sufficient for two people.
