Spent a lovely afternoon with Nancy at the Seattle Festival Orchestra concert. She finally gave me the recipe she had been talking about. Paper is yellowed and starting to tear so I promised I would transcribe it. Nancy and my late uncle enjoyed these together many a week-end morning.
2 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs separated
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, margarine or shortening melted
Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt.
Combine the well-beaten egg yolks and the milk and add to the dry ingredients, beating until the mixture is smooth; the cooled melted butter or margarine.
Beat the egg whites until they stand in peaks but not dry, and fold into the mixture.
Variations:
Sour milk waffles: substitute 3/4 teaspoon baking soda for baking powder and 1 1/2 cups sour milk or buttermilk for sweet milk.
Cheese waffles: add 1 cup grated cheddar cheese to batter before folding in egg whites.
