This year I started a new tradition. I remember having waffles with strawberry sauce on Christmas morning with my Dad's sisters. I offered that this Christmas. My waffle recipe is ancient and getting very faded. I can't even remember where I got this recipe. I want to keep it. (Someone told me they were the very best waffles they had ever had!) I am also including the strawberry sauce. I am copying it just as I wrote it over 30 years ago.
Waffles
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c melted shortening
3 tsp. baking powder
2 beaten egg yolks
1 1/4 c. milk
2 beaten egg whites
Beat egg yolks, add milk, then dry ingredients, sifted together. Beat until smooth, then add shortening. Fold in egg whites.
Strawberry Sauce for Waffles
1 1/2 c sugar
2 pkg. frozen strawberries (10 oz) (I just added two bags...I don't think I checked the weight!)
1 pkg. pectin
3/4 c. water
Boil water and pectin for 1 minute. Add sugar and fruit. Cook 1 or 2 minutes.
Thank you Aunt Beth and Aunt Wilma. You were great!
