Waffles

You do need a waffle iron to pull this off, but if you have one with reversible plates that are flat on the other side you’ll be all set for making grilled sandwiches.

 

This batter is almost the same as the one for pancakes, but needs to be a little thinner. As in the pancake recipe, you can vary the proportions for white and whole wheat flour.

 

SERVES 4

 

Ingredients: 

2 eggs

1¾ cup white flour

¼ cup whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat the waffle iron.

 

Crack open the eggs into a large bowl and beat with a fork.

 

Add the remaining ingredients and stir just until everything is blended. Do not over mix the batter. It is fine for it to be a bit lumpy; just make sure the dry ingredients are all absorbed.

 

Swipe the butter over both sides of the waffle iron plates. Spoon some of the batter onto the lower plate. You want just enough so it will spread out evenly and cover the bottom but not too much or it will run down the sides. Lower the cover and cook according to the appliance’s directions. Usually there is a light that goes off when they are done.

 

Repeat using the rest of the batter.
