    An different take on the typical breakfast fare, try Galettes de Riz.

    Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups of softly boiled rice
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 pint scalded milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • How to do it:
    The rice must be cold and well mashed. Melt two tablespoons of butter into the milk which has been allowed to cool. Beat the egg yolks and the white separately, bringing the egg whites to a stiff froth.

    Mix the rice and milk, beating thoroughly, then add the salt, baking powder and flour. Add the yolks into the batter, first blending well, and lastly, add the egg whites and beat well again.

    The waffle iron should be very hot and well greased. Pour the batter into a pitcher so that you may easily fill the iron. Open the iron and pour the batter from the pitcher quickly. Close the iron and cook for approximately 2 minutes. The waffle must be baked evenly. When the waffles are baked, remove them carefully and place on a hot dish.

    Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the top of the rice waffles. They are also delicious served with butter and Steen’s Cane Syrup.
