When we were creating our wedding registry we were sure to put a waffle iron on there. We got this really cool one that doubles as a sandwich maker. It has two sets of removable plates, which is nice because it cuts down on storage space. AH! Tangent!
Back to Blake . . . in our experimenting over the last year or so, we have discovered that Krusteaz instant mix makes the best waffles, that is of all the instant mixes we've tried. I'm sure scratch would be better, but when you're hungry nothing beats just-add-water. Starting to ramble! Keep it together, self.
Point: Blake loves waffles. He was excited when I shared this with him yesterday. It's a blog that posts answers to the age-old question "Will it waffle?" They make things like s'mores and hashbrowns and bread pudding in a waffle iron! Will we be trying these things? Yes, we will!
mmmmmm s'moreffles! I think I drooled on my keyboard a little.
ReplyDeleteBecca and Blake, while I understand the desire to "just add water", no mix can hold a candle to this recipe:
ReplyDelete2 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
You will need three mixing bowls of increasing size. Separate the eggs and put the yolks in the medium bowl and the whites in the smallest bowl. Combine all of the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Beat the butter/oil and milk into the egg yolks. With a hand mixer beat the egg whites until they are stiff (this is key!).
Start warming the waffle iron while you add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Finally, gently fold the egg whites into the batter. You don't want to over mix the whites, the batter will be lumpy with egg whites.
Now just cook and enjoy.
This might sound like a lot of work but it is worth it!
Happy Birthday Blake!
