Saturday morning waffles
I got to sleep in this morning, until 8:00 AM!! This is usually unheard of, considering Snuggle Bug is usually up by 6:00 or 6:30 AM.Feeling refreshed after my sleep-in, I decided to make the kids waffles for breakfast! Of course, they wanted to put on their aprons and help. They're getting quite good about pouring in ingredients and mixing them up. Snuggle Bug can even crack eggs into a bowl without dropping in the shells!
The kids LOVED their waffles, that they helped make!
I have a Toastmaster Belgian waffle maker, and the recipe that came with it is fantastic, so I thought I'd share.
Enjoy your weekend!
Toastmaster Belgian Waffles
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs
7 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk
Directions
Preheat the waffle iron. Sift the dry indredients into a medium sized bowl. Separate the eggs, putting the egg whites in smaller bowl. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff. (If you are using an electric mixer, you can beat the egg whites first, then beat the batter without having to wash the beaters. The reverse is not true. If you beat the batter first and you have to wash the beaters before beating the egg whites.) Add the egg yolks, oil and milk all at one time to the dry indredients. Beat until there are no lumps in the batter. Fold the egg whites into the other batter using a spatula or other flat utinsel. Put a full 1/2 cup of batter in your waffle iron to make a 9-inch round waffle. This recipe makes about eight 9 inch waffles.
If this recipe makes too many waffles for one setting, try freezing the waffles you do not eat. After the waffles have been cooked in the waffle iron, put them out on a cooling rack. When they are cool, place them in a plastic bag taking out as much air from the bag as possible. Then freeze the bag of waffles. The next time you want a quick waffle, microwave one from the freezer for about 45 to 60 seconds. They are almost as good as fresh waffles.
