  • Making waffles using an antique 200 year old waffle iron and a bonus miniature one. These were soooo good. The recipe comes from the 1824 publication of The Virginia Housewife.

    1824 Waffles
    (I cut the receipt into just over a half of what it was originally calling for and still I had enough to make at least 20 large waffles!)
    3 eggs
    2 cups of whole milk or buttermilk
    1 stick of softened butter + more for greasing your iron
    2 cups of flour
    Into your bowl add your flour + eggs, milk and your softened butter. Beat well until it is all well incorporated. Meanwhile, your waffle iron should be heating up so that it is ready for your batter. Place butter into the iron when it's hot to make it non stick (yes, you can cheat and use Pam). Make sure that the edges of the iron are especially well buttered or your waffles will stick. Slowly pour your batter into your hot waffle iron and place flat over your low heat. Cook on each side for 4 minutes if they are thick waffles and 3 minutes if they are thin. Ensure that the edges are getting an adequate amount of heat. If your iron was well seasoned the waffles should easily plop out once done. Do not open the iron to check on them until the full cooking time is through or else you may ruin them as they won't set properly. You can eat with cinnamon sugar (a mixture of sugar and cinnamon powder), syrup, butter, preserves or whatever you like.

      oops you typed receipt instead of recipe , also in the video it was spelled that way, I make the same typo as well , my computer and phone always try to change it on me ,but I thought I would point it out in case you wanted to correct it .EDIT! oh maybe I am the one who made an error, I looked it up and I guess depending on where you are from and what "time" you are from ...receipt might be the correct way to spell that! very interesting, I love that I can learn new things all the time.

      @@AsTheWheelsTurn It isn’t a typing mistake. It was spelled that way back then. They also used it for prescriptions. I thought it was a typo at first, but it is on all the videos. I believe it comes from German (I speak both English and German) because ‘Rezept’ is German for recipe and prescription. This would make sense for the time frame. My students here always say receipt for prescription here (I teach and have studied English and German linguistics). But nice try trying to point out the mistake, lol.

      You forgot vanilla! I love making waffles on my cast iron Wagner! It's tricky to start but well worth the patience to get good at it. That recipe would make about 7 waffles on my #9 waffle iron (plate sized) but families were larger then and I think they ate flour goods days over, like biscuits. I remember as a kid, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, etc. sitting on a platter on the kitchen table under a towel for a few days in a row and we'd just grab and go. We were a family of 9 living on a small farm and nothing was wasted lol.

    We take waffles seriously in our house ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUfphIgghPSpAXNq6OG2WRYsFVqylcqMn and worked our old one through many years of Sunday brunches till it finally gave out on us. Our old one only made two at a time, this one makes four! Nicely sized 1 inch thick which are lovely! Now the kids don't have to wait as long to eat our weekly waffle breakfast and everyone's are hot if we wait and eat all together! Setting 3 seems to work perfect for golden brown. Be sure to pour the batter in the center of each waffle square, not the center of the iron like the novice that posted the scorched waffles photo. About a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter in each seemed to work well for us. We tested making just one at a time so we could use all the remaining batter and it made it just as fluffy and golden as when we made 4!

      @@karenmcpherson9221 As a child we were given patty pans, scone cutters and egg beaters just in smaller sizes. They all worked, I also had an iron that took hot coals and a wringer /mangle washing machine in miniature to wash hankies and dolls clothing. They also worked, it was "deemed" suitable for girls to learn how to run a house, cottage etc even miniature clippers for the garden and herbs lol. My most amazing thing was a mini Welsh dresser with real china tea service and plates for food covered in violets. The worse was having to learn to sew clothes and knit stockings all by hand. I so regret not keeping them all for my own kids and grandkids. I was in England at the time.

      Also possible it was a salesman sample. Salesmen back then went town to town and house to house on foot. They also sold an array of gadgets. Carrying around full sized items would have been very cumbersome. Instead they packed a case of many mini sized samples that allowed them to pitch their wares without hauling around all that weight.

      I LOVE to cook from scratch, but I don't make the time for it anymore. I need to start. I miss it. We have a wood burning stove just off the kitchen that I could cook on in the winter with cast iron implements and such. My kids think it's "so cool" that I know all that stuff. 😂 we forget that for all the modern tech, kids havent changed THAT much. They still enjoy the same things and are eager to learn it. We just don't make the time anymore. She's inspired me to start doing that more. It'll just give them an advantage to have those basic skills that their peers don't. Never know when they will need them.
