1/3 teaspoon salt
Beat the butter and sugar till light and creamy; add the well-beaten yolks of eggs, then the flour, salt and baking powder sifted together; add the flavoring and beat till smooth and light. Last of all fold in the whites of eggs, stiffly beaten. Bake the same as ordinary waffles.

I’m a sucker for breakfast food to begin with, something like this seams our of control. I’m going to try them ASAP. Though this raises the quuestiong…. What is Ceresota flour? I understand it’s a brand name, but given that the colder midwest grows hard wheat it makes me think they may be bread flour. If you know, I’d love to know.

Unfortunately I don’t know – and given the antiquity of the cookbook I imagine it’s hard to find out.
Let me know how they turn out!
