have on the farm" and so this
fine -four became blished.
In making FORUM tests under
ordinary home conditions, this
waffle and pancake flour was
checked for dependability even in
the hands of an inexperienced
cook. Standard measurements
were used and an electric waffle
iron of popular make without the
extra advantage of controlled
heat received the batter.
Every batter made, even those
that followed more elaborate sug-
gestions by including more than
the basic waffle recipe, proved
successful. Variety and adapta-
bility of waffle batters for more
than breakfast consumption was
sought, with the thought of CIV
ing the family waffle iron full-time
duty and thereby providing more
varied home menus with mini
mum effort.
Into standard waffle batter
went crisp bits Of bacon and the
crunchy goodness was a delight.
Again canned fruit, such as
blueberries. shredded pineapple,
Strawberries and thin peach
slices, was folded into batters
and when topped with whipped
cream or surrounded by tart
lemon sauce, caused a new and
interesting dessert to come into
being.
The possibilities of introducing
cheese into waffies results in all
sorts of surprising foods. Even
crab or tuna flakes have their place
In these quickly baked triangles
and are delicious when served
with either a cheese or tomato
sauce-one of the best hints for
late suppers that the inquiring
hostess may hope to find.
