WAFFLES
Waffles are made from a thin batter and are baked in a well-heated
waffle iron. Many failures to make good waffles are due to the fact
that the iron is not sufficiently hot. The iron must be thoroughly
cleaned after each baking. Place the iron on the range to heat,
turning it several times.
Try this method in greasing the iron. Purchase a large-sized sewing
machine oil-can, wash well in plenty of hot water and soap, then rinse
thoroughly and dry. Now fill with a good salad oil and when the
iron is heated, oil it on both sides. Now you are ready to bake the
waffles. Reverse the iron, having the hot side on top, and pour in the
batter and then bake about three minutes, reversing the iron once.
When the waffles are baked remove from the iron and then oil and
reverse it again, putting the side that was next to the fire on top
and then pour in the batter, close and bake as before.
QUICK BREADS
Quick breads include griddle cakes, waffles, muffins, Sally Lunns,
shortcakes and biscuits. These doughs are made light or leavened
by the use of eggs, baking soda, baking powder and steam created
in baking and by air beaten into the mixture. Their entire success
depends upon the careful measurement of ingredients, the mixing and
the baking. Using all water in place of milk or equal parts of milk
and water will give splendid results.
GRIDDLE CAKES
Place the griddle on the range to heat slowly, while mixing the
batter.
Place in a bowl or a flat, wide-mouthed pitcher
One cupful milk,
One cupful water,
One teaspoonful salt,
One tablespoonful syrup,
Two and one-half cups of flour,
Two tablespoonfuls shortening,
Four level teaspoonfuls baking powder.
Beat to mix to a smooth batter. This amount of batter will make
