Great Grandma's Homemade Waffles!

Today was a particularly special Sunday morning. It was the first time in about 20 years that I stuffed myself dangerously close to a food-induced coma with Grandma Severson's homemade waffles. This wonderful combination of flour, butter, sugar, butter, milk, butter, and a few other ingredients (plus butter) brought back many fond memories. Today's belly full of waffles was even more special because it was the first time that Marin enjoyed this childhood favorite of mine. Marin even helped me mix the ingredients last night while impatiently asking why we had to wait until morning before loading our plates up with waffles, syrup and even more butter.
I wanted to share this with everyone for a few reasons. First of all to thank Grandma Severson for her delicious recipe and for all those special mornings in my childhood where my eyes told me I could eat at least 12 waffles, but my stomach eventually disagreed. Second, to thank Jamie & Phil for giving me a waffle-iron, the recipe, and a container full of the dry ingredients as a fantastic Christmas gift (Special thanks to Aunt Holly, as Jamie tells me she got the recipe second-hand from her). And finally to remind the rest of the family of how great these waffles are and encourage you all to pester Grandma, Aunt Holly, or Jamie to get your own copy of the recipe and make sure that every great-grandchild has the chance to enjoy them as much as I did. Or, ya know, beg Grandma to make the real thing instead of hoping that your waffles turn out as good as hers. I'd like to think that mine were close, but nothing beats Grandma's own cooking.
