WAFFLES
There is a simple but effective recipe for one of the kitchen’s most wonderful products.
- 1¾ cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- Yolks of 2 eggs
- Whites of 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Mix and sift dry ingredients; gradually add milk, then yolks of eggs, well beaten. Next the melted butter and last the whites of eggs, beaten stiff. Cook on a very hot and well-greased waffle iron and serve with maple syrup.
Editor’s Note:—President Harding favors creamed chipped beef as a dressing for waffles while Mr. Briggs is a staunch supporter of the sweet-tooth school.
For those who like the sweet stuff this variation of plain maple syrup is worth trying:
Put one half pound of strained honey in a double boiler, or a small pan placed in water. Heat very slowly, adding a half pint of pure maple syrup with which has been previously mixed two teaspoons of powdered cinnamon and a dash of caraway. Heat and stir until thoroughly mixed—but do not boil. Serve warm.
