I'll keep this recipe. I'll be able to make it _someday_!

My mom had a GE waffle iron from the 1930s with cast iron grids that made
fabulous regular waffles. Guess I got hooked on those. I wish I had never
parted with that waffle iron, although my current one makes very good
waffles. Hers had two separate rectangular grids and lids which made it
very easy to overflow. Mine makes a single 9-inch round waffle. I've
become expert in determining just how much batter to put in without it
running over.
