This is the only recipe I remember getting from Larry’s grandmother, Beulah Vaughn.  We were visiting when she lived in an apartment on Seventh Street, Hannibal, Missouri, so it was probably in 1967 or 68.  I asked her why my waffles always turned out limp.  She wasn’t sure why, but offered me a copy of her recipe.  I have used it ever since!  It works! no more limp waffles!
