3 C sifted all-purpose flour (or part whole wheat flour)
4 tsp baking powder
2 T sugar (optional)
1 tsp salt
4 egg yolks, beaten
4 egg whites beaten until stiff
1 1/2 to 2 C sweet milk or buttermilk

the milk and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Fold

dozen waffles.
Tips:
- Put the waffle batter into a pitcher. It is much easer to pour
the batter!
- Don't overfill waffle compartments or the batter runs out on
the sides of the waffle iron.
- Waffles are done when there is no more steam rising from the
iron.
- After cooling, freeze extra waffles in a plastic freezer bag.
Separate with wax paper before freezing.
