Waffles 2
From: ariley@vzinet.com
I had to dig for this one. This was the recipe mom used, but it sounds like something that came from her mom's recipes:
2 c. sifted cake flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt (omit if using salted butter)
2 tblsp. sugar (opt.)
2 eggs, separated
1-1/4 c. milk
1 stick melted butter
Sift dry ingredients together. Beat egg yolks til light colored and mix in milk and melted butter. Beat egg whites til stiff. Combine dry and wet ingredients til mixed well. Gently fold in egg whites. Makes about 6 or 7 large waffles. These are so good. The butter and cake flour are key.
I serve cut up fresh fruit sprinkled with a bit of liqueur and a shake of powdered sugar with these waffles. When I was a child, we would eat these for supper with a savory topping like creamed chicken or veggies.
I need to make these sometime soon. I still have mom's old electric waffle iron from before I was born. Still works perfectly.
