PERFECTION WAFFLES
Sift together 4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoonfuls of baking soda and 1
teaspoonful of salt, four times.
Separate 3 fresh eggs. Place the yolks in an earthenware mixing bowl.
Beat well with a spoon. Then add 3-1/2 cups of sour milk or sour
buttermilk and 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 teaspoonful of melted
butter. Mix a smooth batter with the sifted flour and soda. Lastly,
add the stiffly-beaten whites of 3 eggs. Mix the batter quickly and
thoroughly. Bake on a hot, well-greased waffle iron and serve at once.
The waffles may be buttered as soon as baked and sugar sifted over, or
a saucer containing a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, or a small jug of
maple syrup may be served with them. Twelve waffles were made from
this recipe.
