Give Me More Waffles

03.10.19

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Good morning sweet friends & how about daylight savings time?  Does anyone else hate it as much as me?  I kid my family and tell them I’m holding out until the day our non-brilliant political jokesters decide there really isn’t a point to all of this madness. Other than confusing children and babies.  Irritating young mothers and teachers and making the rest of us that lived in a time when there was no daylight savings–become belligerent with wishing for such a time. But until that day, here we are. Hating to get out of bed, but the only thing that helps is knowing “brunch” sounds good.  Waffles sound good.  Give me more waffles!

Give Me More Waffles-gullycreekcottage-waffles

Many years ago we gave our Boo a Texas waffle iron that he had been wanting.  Until then we really had never been a “waffle iron” owning family.  Hence, never having made waffles from scratch.  So we went searching for waffle recipes and I remember his first attempt like it was yesterday.  We anxiously took a bite out of the first waffle and both of us gagged and spit it out.  It tasted horrible!!!

Learning to make waffles

His comment…”well the iron is new, maybe I need to make a couple of ’em to get the “new” out of it.”  Sure.

So three awful waffles later,  we knew something else was amok.  He thought back and re-read the recipe. He had added baking soda in place of baking powder.  One big ‘ol TABLESPOON of it!  We both died laughing and were sad at the wasting of ingredients going in the trash, but he started over.  MUCH BETTER after that.  We still laugh every time we pull the waffle iron out.

Needless to say, we’ve perfected our favorite recipe and our waffle making skills along the way.  This recipe really is our favorite!  It’s one that I tweaked from an Allrecipes one.  Not just for breakfast recipe– go crazy!

What I love about this recipe is they are crunchy on the outer edges, soft on the inside with buttery perfection!  Seriously the best!

I love to top mine with fresh fruit and flavored syrups vs regular syrup cause I like different. Not that regular syrup won’t be great, it’s just that life is short and I’m hardly bland!  Why not go crazy with syrup people?

Either way, I hope you try these out and tell me how much you L❤︎VE ’em! K?

Best Ever Waffles

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or my new fave...white wheat
  • 1 t salt
  • 4 t baking powder
  • 2 T sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 1 t vinegar
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1 t vanilla
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and nutmeg; set aside.
  • Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Pour milk and vinegar in a small measuring cup and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then stir in melted butter and vanilla.
  • Pour milk mixture into the eggs and combine well.
  • Pour the milk/egg mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.
  • Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron.
  • Cook the waffles until golden and crisp.
  • Serve immediately.

The great thing about waffles is you can have them for any meal, top them with whatever you want and these are perfect for just that!  Chicken and waffles for dinner?  Yes, please!

Now we just need to replace the waffle iron in the near future (I think it’s on its last leg)!  So give me Texas waffles or any shape waffles! Just give me more waffles!!!  (Let me know how you like them!)

    I can’t wait to try your recipe! Are your waffles in the shape of the state of Texas? They appear to be. I have recently gotten a Presto Waffle Bowl Maker and have so much fun with it! Kevin Belton was making chocolate waffles bowls on the cooking channel and I knew I had to have one. I’ve been using the Kodiak Cakes brand of dark chocolate waffle mix.
