Homemade Waffles...

9:20 am - 33 degrees outside - snowing...

This morning our kids asked for waffles, so homemade waffles it is. These waffles are so good, and very filling!


- Homemade Waffle -

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 egg, separate whites and yolks
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 Tbsp butter, melted


Preheat waffle iron.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk milk, yolks, vanilla, and lemon juice together in a second blow, then add to dry ingredients.  Blend just until moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy).  Stir in the melted butter.

Beat whites to medium peaks in a bowl with a hand mixer, and then gently fold into the batter.  To cook, pour batter into the waffle iron and cook according to waffle iron instructions.

Freeze extra waffles for up to two weeks, and then recrisp in a toaster on low heat.

Yields:  three 7” round waffles
Total time:  10 minutes plus cooking
