Waffles

You’ll need a waffle iron for this recipe.  I don’t know anyone who can make waffles without a waffle iron.  Or if it’s even possible.  Regardless.  We like waffles in this house.  And often Sunday dinner after church is waffles, cheesy eggs and bacon.  Mmmm…

Waffles

1 3/4 cups milk

1/2 cup oil

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla (or just dump some in like I do)

2 cups flour (I use one white and one whole wheat)

1 Tbsp sugar

4 tsps baking powder

1/4 tsp salt (or a few shakes like I do)

Cinnamon – however much you like.  (I do a few shakes, maybe 1 tsp?)

Ingredients.

Combine all the wet ingredients (milk, oil, vanilla, eggs).

The wet ingredients.  Blended.

Then combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon) in a separate container.

I add whole wheat flour.  I admit I like them much better with all white flour.

Mix the dry ingredients separately.
Then combine the wet and dry ingredients.
Combine.

Mix well.
Mixed.

Pour waffle batter into waffle iron.
Spray your iron.  Unless you use it a lot like I do.  Then just the regular use takes care of the sticking problem.

Close iron.  When the waffle is done, my iron’s light goes off.  I don’t know if that’s standard fro waffle irons.
We got this iron as a wedding gift 11 years ago.  Still going strong.

When the light goes off, open the iron and remove the waffle.

The edges always have a bit running over. I prefer that to the alternative of waffles that aren't whole.

Serve hot.  With cheesy eggs and bacon.  And syrup.  Mmmm…

A half waffle.  And our kids like to dip into syrup.  Which is much neater than a plate full of syrup.

    YUUUUUMMMMMYYYYY!!!! It’s like having breakfast out in your house. I haven’t made waffles in quite sometime now. I think it’s because my waffle iron is all the way downstaris. And I’m a dipper too…I don’t like syrup in each little square…ok, I seriously need to get some breakfast ASAP!

    I looked up ‘making waffles without an iron’ and wasted a good half hour. Great, now I want to buy a camping pie iron and also experiment with pennies on a griddle.

    I’m glad to see you also have eggs and bacon with waffles. I enjoy waffles, but they’re not enough of a meal on their own.

    I tried to make pancakes just yesterday. I used Bisquick and followed the recipe on the back. They were horrible: flat, bland, too dense. Sheesh! I followed the recipe! Why would they put an awful recipe on the box?

    I have a great pancakes recipe. It uses a little brown sugar to give it a special kick. We now don’t use any boxes, because this recipe is so good and quick. Interestingly, it also is half whole wheat, half white.
