WAFFLES, FANNIE FARMER COOKBOOK

Steps:

• Mix eggs, milk, and oil in lg bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix until blended. Heat the waffle iron, spray with olive oil. Pur in batter to fill. Close and bake until the steaming stops and the waffles are crisp, tender and brown. Makes 3 1/2 large Belgian style waffles. Translates to 7 servings.

• Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large mixing bowl.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Add milk, butter, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture and beat until smooth.

• The batter keeps well in the refrigerator.

FANNIE FARMER GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and melted butter and stir vigorously, adding more milk, if necesary, to make the batter just thin enough to pour. Drop by spoonfuls or pour from pitcher onto heated and greased griddle or frying pan using medium heat. When full of bubbles and the underside is browned, turn and brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup and additional butter.

RAISED WAFFLES

Steps:

• Use a rather large mixing bowl - the batter will rise to double its original volume. Put the water in the mixing bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Let stand to dissolve for 5 minutes. Add the milk, butter, salt, sugar, and flour to the yeast mixture and beat until smooth and blended. (I often use a hand rotary beater to get rid of the lumps.) Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature. Just before cooking the waffles, beat in the eggs, add the baking soda, and stir until well mixed. The batter will be very thin. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into a very hot waffle iron. Bake the waffles until they are golden and crisp. This batter will keep well for several days in the refrigerator.
