Instructions: Soften the yeast in 1/4 cup of the warm (never hot) water. Add the sugar to the milk; add the remaining water. Cool to lukewarm - this is important. Then add the softened yeast. Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in the cen ter and pour into it the liquid.

Stir to a smooth batter. Cover and let stand overnight (or 4 to 5 hours), in a warm (just slightly warm) place to rise. Beat down in the morning, adding the melted butter, honey, soda and egg. Beat well to mix. Bake a s for any latkes, big or little, as preferred, either on a lightly greased griddle or in a frying pan, browning first on one side, then the other.

Serves about 6.
