Uzbek Meat Dumplings (A World of Dumplings, modified)
3c flour (450g)
1 egg
1c milk

Needed to add a fair amount more flour, initially, and also while rolling.

1 medium onion, finely chopped (200g, whole weight) (sauteed)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1# ground lamb
1 tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper

Got 92 dumplings, used about half the dough.
Could have used a bit more seasoning--the lamb overpowers what's there.

4oz butter
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
250g flour

Mix up all but soda & eggs. Let raise overnight. Whisk in soda & eggs. Waffle. (3) 2T scoop (scant) for the regular waffler, 1/2c plus a bit for the large one. We got 8 small and 6 large. I like them both.

These are quite possibly the lightest, crispest waffles I have ever tasted. Not what I want every time I want waffles, but definitely best in class.
