“We've Got The Blues Again”
Log Cabin Photo
Blueberries are in season again! A short season this, so make the
most of them by using in a variety of ways. Of course, they’re wonder
ful “as is,” dewy fresh and crystal cool. But give your family a variety
of blueberry treats; serve these wonderful, fresh “blues" in cobblers,
muffins, pies, puddings, shortcakes. And, for something different, how,
about Blueberry Waffles a la Mode? Top warm, fragrant waffles with
a scoop of vanilla ice cream and “sauce” with golden, maple-blended
syrup. That’s a special combination you can serve for dessert or for
afternoon refreshments. The recipe for the waffles is given below. No
recipe is needed for the sauce; simply use the maple-blended syrup
just as it comes from the bottle or familiar log cabin tin.
BLUEBERRY WAFFLES A LA MODE
2 cups sifted flour 2 eggs, well beaten
2 V2 teaspoons double-acting W2 cups milk
baking powder Vi cup melted shortening
34 teaspoon salt 1 cup blueberries
