Waffles

My aunt Lynda asked me to share my waffle recipe, now that I’ve had time to try it out a bit I’m ready to share!  This recipe is from Money Saving Mom and I like it quite well.  It’s a whole wheat recipe and I recommend using a whole white wheat with it.  I buy the King Arthur brand and find it to be a high quality wheat with a good taste.  I like this flour because it still has the nutritional content of the darker whole wheat, but it’s lighter and has a finer consistency.  I like this site talking about the difference between the dark whole wheat and the lighter version.  Until recently I didn’t know the difference – Heavenly Homemakers.

Whole Wheat Waffles

  • 1 3/4 C whole wheat (I double this recipe and use primarily whole wheat, but I do use some refined white flout as well)
  • 2 Tbl sugar
  • 1 Tbl baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 C milk (use 1/2 water and 1/2 milk)
  • 1/2 C oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • A little cinnamon
  • Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients another.  Mix the two together, stirring well.
  • Add mixture to your waffle maker according to the directions.  Mine takes about a 1/2 C per waffle and I cook it on high for about 10 minutes (or until the thing stops steaming).
  • These freeze great, that’s why I make a double batch.  I let them cool and then just put them into ziplock bags.  In the morning I just pop them into the toaster, so good!
