Waffles worthy of a second post!


So, I don't normally post twice in one day....hmm in fact it's rare if I post twice in the same month. (I'm not an avid blogger) BUT this weekend, amidst car shopping and being spiritually rejuvenated, I also found the MOST AMAZING WAFFLE RECIPE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes, yes it's THAT good. This is no exaggeration.

Make and eat these waffles and you might be surprised what wonderful things happen to you. Perhaps me getting a car could have some connection to the waffles...who knows, who knows.

Now before I give you the recipe, I must give credit where credit is due. The website where these waffles are found is teriskitchen.com. I don't know anything about Teri; don't know if she's some adorable old grandmother, keen on filling the world with her delectable breakfast foods or if she's simply a chef student who decided to make herself a web site, but I thank her from the bottom of my heart for these waffles.

And so I give you:

THE MOST AMAZING WAFFLES EVER


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (see variation below)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or sugar substitute that equals sugar portions 1:1, such as Splenda)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (see variation below)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1-1/2 to 2 cups reduced fat or nonfat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Place the flour, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl and whisk with a wire whisk to combine well. Add the eggs, butter, oil and 1-1/2 cups of the milk; beat with the whisk just until smooth. Add more milk as needed to thin the batter to a pouring consistency, being careful to keep it thick. Heat your waffle iron and bake according to manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately.

Notes: The batter may be made the night before, covered and refrigerated. Add a little more milk before baking if it has become to thick. Waffles freeze very well. Just bake them a little lighter than usual, let them cool on a wire rack, wrap individual portions in waxed paper and place in a freezer bag.


ENJOY!
