White Lily Waffles

I love this recipe because the waffles are so light! My mom has used this recipe for years. She also uses the White Lily biscuit recipe. It's very hard to find White Lily. Sometimes we have it shipped to us. We have found it in TN. and if you are in northeast US, you can find it at most Meijer stores. If you find it, please let me know.
