Leggo of that Eggo. There’s a new waffle in town.
Having a basic waffle recipe in your arsenal is clutch. This one should suit most tastes, it’s not too sweet but it’s fluffy and doesn’t take long.
They have a high calorie count (at 300 calories per waffle) but they are from scratch and could easily be made organic. They also freeze beautifully, wrapped in wax paper and stored in a ziploc bag.
Adding the milk.
Here is what the whites should look like.
You can make them as thick or thin as you like. I use a half cup measure for each waffle. I prefer that they not spill over the edge. Waffle makers are a bitch to clean. Am I right?
For fun, i combined 1 cup of frozen berries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch in a small pan and simmered it over low heat until it had the consistency of jam.
Then i topped my waffles with it.
