Gayle's Nana's Waffles

From Gayle:
"Now this took my mom a little work to perfect. The old recipe was a bowl of this and a handful of that. Of course it all depended on what you called a bowl.

• 2 c unbleached flour
• 4 tsp baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 4 T vegetable oil (the original recipe was lard, then Crisco, now veggie oil....progress)
• 1 3/4 cup sour milk (Plain milk will work, taste is different. Soy should work also.)

In an 8-cup bowl mix everything. Just dump it all it. Make a mess if you want to. You can't kill this recipe. Heat waffle iron. If not teflon coated, spray with cooking spray (or use old fashion butter...yum). Use the 2/3 cup measure and scoop out the batter. Makes a perfect round waffle. Remove when brown and easily lifted from iron. (Mine has a idiot light. Perfect every time.) Serve."

Now Gayle will probably shoot me for dickering with her family recipe, but the whole point of making waffles this morning is to use up my sour dairy products purchased at Klein Farm early last week.
