Waffle Recipes

[sulis]

I finally splurged and purchased a waffle maker - I have been craving home made waffles for weeks.

But I don't want to make waffles out of a box. Anyone have any tried and true, extra yummy waffle recipes they would be willing to share? I love waffles that are so yummy one does not need to cover them in butter and/or syrup.

I have a great whole grain one that I can post tonight from home. I'm at work and don't trust my memory. We mostly use real maple syrup, but top them with various berries when they are in season. Homemade applesauce is also a yummy topping, now that it is fall.

my husband and I have figured out that dried blueberries make a great addition to the batter- they bring all the flavor but not the water to the mix, fresh ones are too wet and they stick to the waffle iron.

If you have the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook (Ye Olde Standby, the red-plaid ring binder one), the waffle recipe where you separate the eggs, beat the whites, then fold them back in is excellent. A little time consuming, but great.

The question is: What kind of waffles? The American crispy kind are made with separated eggs and stiff beaten whites. The Norwegian soft kind are not. Norwegian waffles also sometimes have cardemom in them (mmmmm!). Then I have a lemon-flavored waffle recipe that's quite good. And a friend of mine makes delicious waffles with left-over mashed potatoes.

Mmmm, I like this thread.

these are my favorite! They are made with sweet potatos, and they are pretty easy to make!

I love Cooking Light's flaxseed waffle recipe, it also includes a simple recipe for a berry syrup. You can substitute any kind of berry (fresh or frozen) for those listed in the recipe or serve with regular maple syrup. Sometimes I have them with a dollop of Vanilla Greek-style yogurt and fresh fruit, instead of syrup.

Waffles With Two-Berry Syrup

Mmmm...yummy. I am definitely trying all of these...two berry syrup, sweet potatoe waffles...love this.

Five one - I would definitely be interested in the whole grain.

Duck - Maybe its the half bread Swede in me but I absolutely looooove cardamom...please do share the recipe.

I make Norwegian waffles all the time (or at least quite frequently), but don't actually use a recipie. For a litre of milk (about two pints) I use 3-4 eggs (depending on how fluffy I want the waffles), then add enough white flour to give the batter the consistency of thick cream (not as thick as amercian waffle batters, more like a crepe batter). Add a good sprinkling of ground cardamon (a couple of teaspoons maybe) and a couple of tablespoons of melted butter (or oil if you prefer). Turns out delicious every time, especially when topped with a bit of sour cream and fresh strawberries.

What's Greek style yogurt?

(Not that it would ever be available in my area.)

This comes from the Sister Bay Cafe in Sister Bay, WI. It is a Norwegian owner and the restaurant is themed "Norwegian".

Greek style yogurt is thicker, creamier and less tangy than regular yogurt; and they usually don't use gelatin as a thickener. It's made with whole milk and comes with a cream layer on top that you mix into it, although, fat-free is available.
Greek Gods is my favorite brand. Their honey yogurt (Which is what I use on the waffles, not vanilla. I made an opps. ) is divine. Sometimes I'll serve it as dessert with some chopped nuts and berries. Yummy! The plain is good for cachumber salad and as a base for creamy dressings instead of mayonnaise.

Your description of the yogurt is making my mouth water! Time for lunch!

Got home from work yesterday and completely forgot to post the recipe . Never even got on the computer last night. Sorry. Writing myself a note so I'll remember this evening.
