Sweet Milk Homemade Waffles Recipe - so delicious and easy to make. Nothing tastes better than from Scratch! happymoneysaver.com

I am finally getting around to making another recipe from my Great-Grandmother’s Old Recipe Box.  In the box I found 3 different homemade waffles recipes.  Hmmm… which one to choose?? Decisions, decisions.

I really really wanted to make this one.

But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what “ZO” is. Or maybe it’s “go.”  Zuchinni oil?  Zebra ointment? Was it some kind of name brand product they had back then? If you DO know what that is…you seriously need to stop what you are doing and leave a comment on this post. I am desperate here…It’s killing me that I don’t know what it is.

This was the second waffle recipe in the box – Sour Milk Waffles.

Ummm… and just who has sour milk hanging around? It’s you homesteaders with a dairy cow or goat, that’s who. You all should try that one out and let me know how it tastes. And let me know if you get diarrhea too. Hee hee.

I decided to go with the Sweet Milk Homemade Waffles recipe.

The problem? I didn’t have pastry flour.

So I googled and found that to make 2 cups of pastry flour you take 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour + add in 2/3 cup of cake flour.

Ah man! I didn’t have cake flour either. Dang.  So I Googled again…

To make cake flour:  add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1 cup measuring cup, then fill the rest of the cup with flour.

I realized this was possible after all.

So I made the cake flour, sifted & mixed it together, then measured out 2/3 cup. Next I  added 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour to my mixing bowl. Now we have our 2 cups of Pastry flour.  Whew..that was a lot of work!

And I may have made a huge mess of the flour too. That’s just the kind of cook I am. Things like flour just seem to explode around me.

Flour sifter

Next it said to sift the dry ingredients. So I busted out my antique sifter and had a blast. I just love using my old antique tools. It’s fun.

Poured the milk into the bowl.

Then separated the yolks from the whites and added in the yolks to the dry ingredients.

It said next to fold in the egg whites beaten stiff.

So I took out my other cool old hand mixer/ egg beater, which works so incredibly well for getting the eggs stiff. I have used it many times before and I honestly think that it’s faster than my kitchen aid for mixing eggs.

beating egg whites

Egg whites to stiff peaks stage

To know if your eggs are beaten enough you should have some nice stiff peaks when you remove the beaters.

Fold your egg whites in gently

Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the batter, then add in the melted real butter. Now the batter is ready.

I crossed my fingers and scooped about a cup’s worth of batter and added it to my hot waffle maker.

Cooked till they were done, and.. the homemade waffles recipe turned out BEAUTIFUL! Plus the taste was out of this world. I am not kidding.

Deeee-lish.

Add in some butter and syrup..and it’s heaven.

    Sour milk can be made, lol. I’ve done it before when I was in a pinch for buttermilk. I didn’t have any buttermilk so I used vinegar and regular milk – can’t recall at the moment if I had to add anything else. I shook it and shook it and shook it some more and voila! “Buttermilk,” but not really – my pancakes were flat but they still tasted great! I think I shall try the sour milk recipe.

    What are yokes? Do you mean yolks as in eggs or what oxen wear? I saw it was misspelled on the hand written recipe!

    Per my grandma, Zo was a dry grain cereal she used to use in her waffles. When it discontinued, she switched to buckwheat. Maybe try it.

    I found it! What is ZO?

    Here you are: A very healthy and popular cereal with vitamins. Perfect to add to a waffle batter, right? I’d guess the cereal was some type of grain.

    ZO Cereal | MrBreakfast.com
    https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=1360
    This cereal was described in a magazine ad as “ready to serve breakfast food that is rich in vitamins. … An advertisement of in a 1928 issue of Good Health Magazine titled “‘ZO’ Goes to the South Pole” described the cereal’s connection to Antarctic explorer Commander Richard E. Byrd …
