Waffle Recipes

[five one]

Okay...this is actually a pancake recipe I altered and made my own. The original came from the classic 70's vegetarian cookbook called Laurel's Kitchen.

1/2 c. wheat germ
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. ground flax meal
2 t. baking powder
1 T. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon (optional)
1 t. salt
2 large eggs
2 1/2 - 3 c. vanilla soy milk (I use Silk brand). Regular milk is fine, too.
2 T. canola oil

With a whisk in a medium bowl, stir together all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly and combine with the milk. Add the oil and beat to mix well, then add wet to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

This will make 6-8 6" round Belgian waffles. Most of the time we use real maple syrup on them, but applesauce is also great, and of course, seasonal berries. I've also added a ripe mashed banana to the batter with good results.

Hmmm...I'm hungry .

Mmmmm..... Pumpkin waffles!

"Where'd I put that waffle iron?"[sg mumbles to herself while flinging pantry items out of her way]
"Darn, no pumpkin!"

"Honey, I'm on my way to the store. Do you need anything?"

[boy in a kilt]

Yeah, pumpkin waffles.

Too bad cane syrup is so hard to get ahold of up north. I miss that stuff.

Yummy. I am so excited to try all these recipes.
Thought I would share one I tried last week. These smell soooo yummy while cooking and taste just as good. I did a mixture of white and whole wheat flour and they turned out really good. I also added the molasses. Also, I used egg substitutes and Fat free milk, as I didn't have any buttermilk, but it turned out fab.

Enjoy!

Ginger Waffles

1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
Equivalent of 3 beaten eggs
1/2 c. molasses
1 c. fat-free buttermilk
1/2 c applesauce
1 tsp ginger

Thanks a lot, Sulis! I'm supposed to be working. Yet, now all I can do is sit here daydreaming about waffles.

I used to make a really good sourdough waffle. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. But, you have to have a sourdough starter to make it. I'll dig the recipe out later if anyone is interested.

Too bad we all live so far away from each other. A TE waffle ride would be super fun! A local riding group that DH sometimes rides with does an annual waffle ride. They ride to a park with waffle irons, batter, and other breakfast foods in tow. Than it's a big waffle party where they taste each others' wares. Mmm.....

While I was looking for my sourdough recipe, I came across this one. It's not really a breakfast waffle, more of a dessert. Why not have a little fun with your waffle iron?

Waffle Berry Shortcake
2 cups strawberries
sugar to taste
juice of one lemon
1 box pound cake mix or lemon cake mix
1 pint vanilla ice cream

1. Slice berries into a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and squeeze on lemon juice. Set aside.
2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, adding 1/3 to 1/2 cup more water than instructed, making a thick flowing batter.
Heat oiled waffle iron.
Pour 1/4-cup batter onto center of waffle iron. Cook until firm.
3. Place a scoop of ice cream on each waffle and top with strawberry mixture.

Makes 8 servings

I was just thinking about making up a giant batch of waffles this week to celebrate the beginning of cross season in Southern Oregon. I have a number of waffle recipes that I rotate through, but this seems to be the family favorite:

Chocolate Waffles

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa. Stir in the milk, eggs, and butter until mixture is smooth. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron (greased). Cook until golden brown. Smother with topping(s) of choice.

Thanks for the other great recipes!!!

If you really feel like being decadent waffles with chocolate chips in them are sooooooooo good.
