Waffle Recipe ' Basic But Can Be Spiced Up

By Ben Cook

Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day and waffles are a common breakfast food. These can be made from scratch, can come from a box or they can be eaten at a diner or restaurant. When making them at home from scratch you will have a bit more flexibility and can change the waffle recipe a bit to meet your needs. With a common recipe, it is easy to make how the recipe says as well as try out a few things and see how they taste.

Waffles require less than 10 ingredients and most of these are already on hand in the pantry. The recipe calls for a waffle iron and a bit of vegetable oil. You will also need milk, one and a half cups worth, eggs, three of them and a pinch of salt. Also needed will be baking powder, two teaspoons, sugar, one teaspoon, and two different types of flour, all purpose flour and whole wheat flour, four ounces of each.

There are just a few steps to make waffles. Before doing anything, be sure to turn on the waffle iron so that is it nice and hot when the mixing is all done. This will save time later. Begin by mixing all of the dry ingredients, both types of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, together in one bowl.

Next, take all of the wet ingredients, the eggs, milk and oil, and mix those together in a separate bowl. It will take a bit of mixing but keeping mixing until the milk and eggs are mixed together well.

Mix both the wet mixture and dry mixtures together in one bowl. Mix these together until there are no more bumps. Any additional items that you want in your waffles such as cinnamon, chocolate chips or fruit needs to be added now. Mix a bit more and your batter is set to go.

With the waffle iron already heated up, pour one half cup of mixture into the iron. Close the top and leave it for about a minute. Check to see how the waffles are doing and if they are a golden brown, they are done cooking and can be eaten.

Waffles are a great breakfast food and with a simple recipe and a few common ingredients, waffles can be made at home and enjoyed by all. - 30289
