I made waffles for breakfast this morning (well, there’s only one in the house now, so it’s looking like lunch as well). It’s a simple thing, here’s the recipe, transcribed from my late wife’s hand. Dry ingredients 2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder Liquid mix 1 1/2 cups milk 3 tbsp shortening (or oil) 2 tbsp sugar 3/4 tsp salt Slush mashed banana Sift flour, measure and resift twice with the other dry ingredients.
