So, I don't know about you, but my waffle iron sees very little use. But, I had a request from my boys for some waffles the other morning (I'm not sure where they even learned the word), so I dug out the iron, dusted it off and made some waffles. I found a good recipe at allrecipes.com and tweeked it just a little (because it wasn't unhealthy enough). I have to say, they were some of the best waffles I've ever had (that's not saying much, because I rarely have waffles). I topped them with some freezer strawberry jam and whipped cream.
Waffles:
2 c. flour (I used 1/2 wheat. There, now they are healthy)
3/4 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
4 Tbl sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c milk
1/3 c melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat waffle iron. Mix together dry ingredients and set aside. In separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and mix well.
Ladle onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp. Makes about 5 or 6 waffles.
I'm glad you posted this. My kids have been asking for homemade waffles, not the "Leggo's" for awhile now. I'll have to give these a try!
ReplyDeleteWe eat waffles a lot. We find it's a good excuse to eat strawberry shortcake for breakfast, but we've never bothered to look for a really great recipe. We'll have to try this next time.
