GREAT-GRANDMOTHER BLANCHE'S WAFFLES
This is a recipe that I got from my grandmother who in turn got it from her mother. GG Blanche was part of a card- playing group and whenever she hosted would make these waffles for the group she played with. Doubles and freezes wonderfully.

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER'S PANCAKE/WAFFLE BATTER
Handed down in my family for generations. It's meant to be refrigerated overnight. However, if you must have your pancakes *now*, measure the baking powder in slightly rounded teaspoons instead of leveled off. Let the batter sit on the counter at room temp until it starts bubbling, to be sure that the necessary chemical reaction is taking place. It's very easy to 'draw' simple shapes as you pour the batter. Children adore hearts, stars, their initials, etc. Addendum 4/21/09: I will tell you quite honestly that I've been rather shocked by the recent spate of negative reviews. Frankly, I'm lost. All I can figure out is that those who hated them must have been eating them plain. And in that case, I can understand why they disliked them. These pancakes are meant to be smothered in butter and saturated with syrup. Should you choose to eat them 'naked', all bets are off. :)

Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients well.
- Add wet ingredients one at a time, in order listed, stirring well after each addition.
- Mixture will probably still be a little lumpy-- as long as flour is fully incorporated, this is not a problem.
- Cover batter and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat ungreased electric skillet or griddle to 400 degrees.
- Spoon pancake batter into skillet.
- (We like them'silver dollar' size-- about 2 tablespoons of batter).
- Cook until bubbles on the top disappear and bottom is nicely-browned and can be lifted easily with a spatula (approximately 3 minutes).
- Flip, and cook on other side until done.
- The batter is also wonderful for waffles-- just follow manufacturer's instructions regarding the setting to use, the volume your waffle iron will hold, etc.
- Serve hot, with butter and syrup (or sugar, or powdered sugar, or molasses, or sorghum, or fruit or whatever turns your tastebuds on).

- 7. I start my waffle iron to heating when I start to make my batter.
- 8. You can keep this batter for 2 days after mixing, in a sealed bowl in the refrigerator. just fold gently until well mixed. I make mine up and put them in the freezer, then I can just put them in toaster or oven. Enjoy and please let me know how you like them
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your waffles.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax, which will also make the waffles more tender.
- Cook the waffles on a hot griddle. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are best when they're hot and fresh.
