Waffle Iron Cornbread
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup meal
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons melted fat
Beat egg together with milk. Add dry ingredients, mixing well. Stir in melted fat. Cook in pre-heated, lightly greased waffle iron just as you would regular waffles.
Note: “In the hot summertime, instead of “lighting the oven” to make cornbread, make it in the waffle iron: crispy brown, dripping in butter, smothered with red beans, or served with stew.”
