Waffles

3 Eggs, (good sized) 1 qt. Flour, 1 tablespoonful Water, A pinch of Salt, 1 cup sour Cream, 2 heaping tablespoonfuls Lard or Butter (melted) 1/2 teaspoonful The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda.

Beat the eggs well, and add the salt; pour into the eggs the sour cream and melted lard or butter.

Sift the flour into a pan or bowl and pour the milk, etc. into it and stir well. It should be a soft batter; if too stiff, add a little more cream or milk. Just before you start baking the waffles, dissolve the Soda (or Saleratus) in the water and beat into a batter. Have the waffle iron quite hot. A tablespoonful of sugar may be added to the batter also, if you want them sweeter.
