Virginia Waffles Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/2 cup white corn meal
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 cups flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

1. Cook meal in boiling water for 20 minutes,
2. To meal, add milk, dry ingredients mixed and sifted, well-beaten egg yolks, butter, and whites of eggs, beaten stiffly.
3. A waffle-iron should fit closely on range, be well heated on one side, turned, heated on other side, and thoroughly greased before iron is filled.
4. Drop a tablespoon of mixture in each compartment and cover. Mixture will spread to just fill iron.
5. If sufficiently heated, it should be turned almost as soon as filled and covered.
