Sour Dough Waffles for Ceilidh

Sough Dough Waffles

2 cups flour
2 cups water

Place this in a plastic container and let it sour by leaving it slighty uncovered and stirring it occasionally (ever four hours) with a wooden or plastic spooon, not metal.

In a day or two you will see it bubbling and know that it is sour.

Take out most of the dough into another bowl.
Add 1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tablespoons of sugar

Let sit for 10 minutes.  The mixture will get twice as big so let that be the judge of the size of bowl you use.

Add 1 egg well beaten and 1/4 cup oil.

Let the waffles cook for 2 minutes each, at least, and perhaps three.
Oil the waffle iron well with a brush

For the next day, add 2 more cups water, 2 cups flour and with what was left in the container, it should sour in a day.

Ceilidh and I would usually triple the recipe to feed about 12 people.

The whipping cream and sliced fruit on top of the waffles also helped to feed them.

Wyona's Wedding Waffles

Wyona's Kitchen Table
...  an old trusted recipe from  an even older trusted recipe book ...

From Wyona Bates

The recipe book that you see in the picture is the original which came with the waffle iron in 1966.

Now that recipe book has been around the world a few times.

Wyona’s Wedding Waffles

1\3  cup butter

1 1\2 cups flour

2 1\2 tsp baking powder

1\4  tsp salt

1 tbsp brown sugar

2 eggs

1 cup + 1 tbsp water (milk)

1 tsp vanilla

Beat eggs with mixer until fluffy, fluffy, like meringue.

Mix together dry ingredients.

Fold water and well beaten eggs to dry ingredients.

Add oil.

Decorate with fruit of the season, whipped cream or syrup.

Take waffles out on deck and eat.

Make more waffles than the group can eat at one sitting. Then you will have waffles ready for the grandchildren anytime during the day, especially when they do not like adult food at dinner time.

This recipe came with the waffle iron that Greg and I were given as a wedding present.  We still use the waffle iron to this day. The apron in this picture was given to me by Art as a Christmas present a few years back. It is 6x the recipe because what a waste to make just one recipe.

Whoops! I guess Trent should have been more careful when he took the top off of the whip cream mixer. Clean up your mess Trent.

Ivan as a latecomer for breakfast, enjoying his waffle stick laden with whip cream.

Gabe came late for breakfast one morning and all the fruit was gone. He was so sad. However, he just went out to the garden which Janet and Glen had planted for us, and he picked and cleaned his own strawberries and had a few pears on the side.
