Good Waffles

I grew up eating these waffles. Absolutely delicious! I was thrilled to receive a waffle iron as a gift this Christmas, so I attempted my first ever waffles. Yum...

Good Waffles (Recipe from the Mennonite Treasury)

Sift together:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 1/2 tsp baking powder

Beat the yolks of 8 eggs well (saving whites) and add:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, sweet or sour may be used (if cream is not heavy use 1 cup)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Add the egg mixture to flour and beat well.

Sauce for Waffles:

• 1/2 cup waffle batter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk

Beat this well. Bring to a boil, one quart of milk and gradually add the flour mixture. Bring to a boil and set aside. Now add the stiffly beaten eggs whites to the waffle batter and bake in waffle iron.

Yield: 10-12 waffles.

We enjoy waffles with strawberries. Ice cream, bananas, saskatoons or just about anything else also goes well with these.
