Basic Waffles Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Basic Waffles Recipe, first mix one pint of flour, three-fourths pint clabber (if you use buttermilk, a pint), one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon melted lard, and beat till perfectly smooth-beat hard and long, for success will depend on it. Just before you put in the irons add one level teaspoon of soda dissolved in a teaspoon of hot water. Heat the waffle iron, turn and heat on the other side, then oil thoroughly. Put a tablespoon of batter in each compartment; then cover and it will soon fill the iron. Turn at once. With a new iron oil carefully or waffles will stick.
