Not long ago, a good friend of mine graciously lent me her waffle maker for a “test drive”. I’ve been wanting to buy one of my own, but like most kitchen gadgets, I wasn’t sure if it was something I was going to really use. My kids eat waffles for breakfast several times a week, so I thought, like pancakes, that it might be a good idea to make large batches of homemade waffles and freeze them. So last Sunday, we tried out our first batch of homemade waffles. I’ll just say that I couldn’t make them fast enough! Everyone loved them…and they just kept asking for more! I was lucky enough to be able to sit down and eat the last two for my own breakfast. I found a recipe on Recipezaar that I toyed with and made my own. We have made them 2 Sundays in a row and have really enjoyed them both times. I am thinking it is going to become a Sunday tradition… I guess I’ll be going out to buy my own waffle maker this week…thank you Betsy for the loaner! Sunday Morning Waffles Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (or regular sugar) 3 TB baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups lowfat buttermilk (can substitute lowfat milk) 3 eggs 1/3 cup applesauce 2 TB flax meal 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp cinnamon Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, applesauce and flax meal to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the batter per waffle into the waffle maker and cook according to waffle maker directions. Serve with a small bit of butter, maple syrup and fruit. Have a great week!
