Yeah. Today I went totally into waffles. To be more specific - into dessert waffles. But first let's learn a little bit about waffles and how to make them! Waffles are very tasty meal for people who really love crispy and light stuffs. Making waffles is easy and it does not require any hard to come by ingredients. Waffles are to make at home and homemade waffles are much better that commercially prepared and sold ones.
Just follow this easy recipe. All you need is:
- 2 cups of all purpose flour,
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder(cooking soda),
- 1/2 tea spoon of salt,
- 2 teaspoons of sugar,
- 2 cups of milk with your preferred amount, also take
- 2 eggs that are separated which are very important in the waffle recipe and
- one full tablespoon full of melted butter.
These are the easy ingredients that are always available in all the homes.
And now to making waffles:
- Preheat the iron waffle maker.
- Shift all the dry ingredients to a bowl.
- Beat the egg white properly until it is stiff in a small separate bowl.
- Add the separated egg yolk to the dry ingredients together with melted butter and the milk and mix well until you feel it is completely lump free.
- After it is lump free pour some of the stiff egg white on the batter and leave it for a while.
- Put one cup of batter in the preheated iron waffle and close it.
- Remove the waffle after 2 minutes and leave it out on a tray to cool and then
- enjoy, serve it with your favorite toppings on it. My favourite waffle toppings are mango waffle topping and peaches and cream waffle topping. Just follow the links to find out how to prepare them.
This amount of ingredients will give you around 12 waffles.
Also easy to make are butter milk waffles.
For this all you have to do is arrange the same ingredients and use butter milk instead of ordinary milk.
Follow the same procedure for the preparations.
This waffle will be good for the people who never like milk flavor and never want to use milk.
One tip: if you have left over batter you can store it in refrigerator. If it has gone thick then add some milk or buttermilk and stir well to get it back the normal. Other really cool waffle recipes are blueberry waffle recipe and strawberry, blueberry or raspberry waffle recipe. I love waffles with fruit in them. If you are more of a chocolate fan then try chocolate chip waffles.
Waffles make an interesting breakfast in the winter especially, though people enjoy them any season. In winters home made waffles will hit the right spot. And you may quickly run out of them and have to make more. Children will be your fans:)!
Well that's it.
Actually...one more recipe - when I was talking about children - I have also found these two recipes that I am sure will be kinds favourites - waffle ice cream sandwich recipe and banana split waffle recipe.
Uh....this waffle post has turned out to be much longer than planed :).
Lately I have been thinking about age, life... things like that. It's kind of not something I like to think about since I am don't have quite the average expectations from life. Not to get to depressing here :)... the point is that I decided that I will try to include more healthy foods into my diet. That doesn't mean that I'll stop with simple recipes, these things can go hand in hand. Actually I try to make most of my waffles, banana breads, pancakes, muffins etc... using healthy ingredients, whole wheat flour etc...
