 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       tb           Unsalted butter
  1 3/4   c            All-purpose flour
  2       tb           Double-acting baking powder
  1       ts           Salt
    1/4   ts           Freshly ground black pepper
  2       c            Milk
  2       lg           Eggs
  5       oz           Nova Scotia-style smoked
                       -salmon
  1       md           Onion -- peeled & finely diced
    1/4   c            Fresh dill -- snipped

 Softened cream cheese and finely chopped scallions or sour cream
 and salmon caviar for topping.

 Preheat your waffle iron. If you want to hold the finished waffles
 until serving time, preheat your oven to 200 F.

 Melt the butter; reserve. In a large bowl, whisk together the
 flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk
 together the milk and eggs until well blended. Pour the liquid
 ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk gently to combine.
 Fold in the salmon, onion, dill and melted butter.

 Lightly butter or spray the grids of your iron, if needed. Brush or
 spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.

 Spoon out 1/2 cup of batter (or the amount recommended by your
 waffle maker's manufacturer) onto the hot iron. Spread the batter
 evenly over the grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon,
 stopping right before the edge. Close the lid and bake until golden
 and crisp. Serve immediately or keep the waffles, in a single
 layer, on a rack in the preheated oven while you make the rest of
 the batch.

 To serve:

 Add a scoop of cream cheese and a sprinkling of chopped scallions
 or a generous spoonful of sour cream and some salmon caviar.
