Soda Waffles

1 pint of flour. 1 pint of milk. 1 teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in the milk. 2 teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, mixed in the flour. 2 eggs. 1 tablespoonful of butter. Beat up and bake quickly.

Another Recipe for Waffles. 1 quart of flour, with a kitchen-spoonful of corn meal added 3 eggs beaten separately. 1 quart of milk. 1 teacup of water. 1 teaspoonful of salt. Lump of butter large as a walnut, melted and poured in. Bake in hot irons. One secret of having good waffles is to have the batter thin.--Miss R. S.
