additions of flour with the remaining 4 One half cups milk. Stir with a
wooden spoon after each addition. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Cover with a clean towel and put in a warm place. Let rise for 1

batter from time to time to make sure it isn't about to erupt. Stir
it down once or twice. Bake the waffles in a hot waffle iron. The

batter into a water pitcher and pour the batter from the pitcher.
Serve the baked waffles with confectioners' sugar and butter, or
whipped cream and fresh fruit. Allow any leftover waffles to cool on
a rack before storing.
