(The original Belgian Waffles - really a sort of cookie) This came
from Belgium and is a traditional Christmas morning treat. Soften
butter until nearly melted, but not quite; cool. Beat eggs. Add sugar
gradually. Add butter. Add flour a little at a time, mixing
thoroughly after ea. addition. Refrigerate dough several hours. Cook
on waffle iron until light golden brown (not too dark!). Use a
heaping tablespoon of dough on each section of waffle iron grid, or
use a larger "blob" (Belgian unit of measurement, I think) of dough
in center of iron. Separate sections when cooked. Recipe can be
doubled.

Galettes keep well in a covered tin. The lady who gave me this wrote,
"We use no other flavoring but the natural good taste of butter is
sufficient to make the galettes delectable morsels. In Belgium they
are served at New Year and Christmas and at all important family
occasions such as wedding, baptismals. They are offered to
convalescents hoping to awake their appetite and renew their
strength." Actually, these may be a little different for American
tastes as they are neither soft nor crisp. But, they are definitely
authentic! Contributed by: Kris Faria 09/24/96 From: Kurt Faria Date:
