Waffles 2
Instructions:
- 2 cups of flour.
- 1 teaspoonful baking powder.
- 1 1/2 cups of milk.
- 1 tablespoonful butter.
- 1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
- 3 eggs, beaten separately.
- Mix the flour, baking−powder, and salt; put the beaten egg yolks in the milk, and add the melted butter, the flour and last the beaten whites of the eggs.
- Make the waffle−iron very hot, and grease it very thoroughly on both sides by tying a little rag to a clean stick and dipping in melted butter.
- Put in some batter on one side, filling the iron about half−full, and close the iron, putting this side down over the fire; when it has cooked for about two minutes, turn the iron over without opening it, and cook the other side.
- When you think it is done, open it a little and look to see if it is brown; if not, keep it over the coals till it is.
- Take out the waffle, cut in four pieces, and pile on a plate in the oven, while you again grease the iron and cook another.
- Serve very hot and crisp, with maple syrup or powdered sugar and thick cream.
- Some people like honey on their waffles
