我正在翻阅莉娜·迈耶(Lina Meier)的一本古老的烹饪书《德国烹饪和烘烤的艺术》(1922年第2版,密尔沃基,维基百科上的文件)。这里有华夫饼的配方,要求“价值1-2美分的酵母”。它实际上需要多少酵母?
我知道今天有两个美分的硬币能给我多少酵母:没有。实际上,我今天能买到的最小量的酵母是弗莱施曼活性干酵母的包裹,据互联网称,它重约7克(0.25盎司)。
我复制了下面的食谱,因为它没有版权,而且我听说酵母是其中的成分之一,您需要考虑食谱其余部分中的情况。我只关心“酵母”成分:在今天的测量中这意味着多少?
No. 15—YEAST WAFFLES.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
½ lb. of butter ¾ pt. of milk or cream
4 eggs 1–2 cents worth of yeast
¼ cup of sugar ½ lb. of flour
½ grated lemon peel Lard for baking
1 pinch of nutmeg
Preparation: Cream the butter, stir in eggs, sugar, lemon
peel, nutmeg. The yeast is dissolved in the cream which has
been warmed, stirred into the mixture, then flour added to
make a stiff batter. Set to rise in a warm place. Grease the
waffle iron, put in 3 tablespoonfuls of batter, close the iron
and bake the waffles light brown, turning the iron to bake on
both sides. Waffles must be baked and served quickly, because
they are apt to lose their crispness and become tough.
When serving, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
