American Waffles

Boil one teacupful of rice until it is quite soft; stir in with it a raw egg, one tablespoonful each of flour and milk, and beat all together to a smooth paste. Allow it to cool, put it into well-greased waffle irons, and cook. When the waffles are done on both sides, lay them on a hot plate, butter them, and serve hot.
