WAFFLES

We have a heart-shaped waffle maker that makes these extra fun! Amazon doesn't have the model we own, but here's a similar one.

Out of maple syrup? Here's Bethany's solution: mix brown sugar and water in desired consistency. Microwave (cover with a towel so no splatters) for 1 minute and stir again.

This makes 6 batches in our waffle maker (4 heart-shaped waffles each).

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour
(also works with 1 cup all-purpose + 1 cup wheat)
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 Tb granulated sugar
2 eggs
1½ cups warm milk
⅓ cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

PREPARATION:

Preheat the waffle maker.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.
Cook the waffles according to your waffle maker instructions.

TIPS FOR CLEANING THE WAFFLE MAKER:

Sometimes a quick wipe with a damp paper towel is all that is needed.
As needed: put a dab of soap on a toothbrush, brush all grooves, rinse surface only at sink.
Do NOT put the base in water!
Q-tips are also good for getting inside the crevices.
