I managed to get my hands on a waffle maker this week; what a treat! And appropriate since it's Mother's Day and who doesn't love the classic brunch to spoil Mom!
Now in the spirit of honesty, Mom didn't get to induldge; we celebrated yesterday with the extended family in Kingston, so today Mom wanted to take it easy and relax at home... well she's probably found projects to do. But that's Mom for you!
Anyway, the waffle maker was pretty cool, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy one. The taste wasn't too different than the (not frozen) store bought waffles and there's a lot less clean up involved in those!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
4 teaspoons of baking powder
2 tablespoons of white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of warm milk
1/3 cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside.
2. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.(the iron I borrowed only had two options, on and off, so I selected on...)
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla.
4. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.
5. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. 6. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp.
Anyway, happy Mother's Day, hope you're all having a good day.
