3 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Shortening

Heat waffle iron. Beat eggs; beat in remaining ingredients with rotary
beater until smooth.

Pour batter from cup or pitcher onto center of hot waffle iron. Bake
about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Remove waffle carefully.

About eight 7-inch waffles.

*If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.

until stiff; increase baking powder to 4 teaspoons; omit soda and fold egg
whites into batter.

*Blueberry Waffles: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons blueberries over batter for
each waffle as soon as it has been poured onto iron.
