Break the eggs into the milk, then sift in flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Beat until smooth with an egg-whip, then add the melted lard and beat it in. Have waffle irons hot; grease well before putting in batter. Then put in two kitchen spoonfuls of batter in the center of the irons, close and turn them once. Bake, not too fast, until thoroughly done. They will be crisp, and never limp if baked well. Never grease the irons after the first time unless the waffle burns. If the milk is very sour, more soda will have to be used, or use one pint of buttermilk and half pint of sweet milk. Hominy Waffles
