The batter for these waffles can be made the night before, an especially good thing for brunch entertaining!

Make the Waffles: 2 cups sifted unbleached flour** 2 tsp. […]
I was on a search yesterday, as per usual, in my many accordion files filled with recipes, for something or other. And once again, what I was looking for had been misfiled! I hate it when I do that! Anyway…when I began checking the other sections in said file, I stumbled upon a section of […]
