Belgian Waffles

Fluffy, Crispy, Amazing Belgian Waffles

 
My children request pancakes and waffles more than any other breakfast food I make. The problem lies in that half of my children want waffles, the other, pancakes. I’m not going to lie…it drives me crazy! Making 2 different breakfasts in the morning is just nuts. So to help make it easier on myself, I have found a way to pacify my waffle people by making a lot in advance, keeping them in a Ziplock freezer bag and keep them in the freezer to pull out at anytime to toast. Waffles, I found are the best reheated and toasted vs. pancakes. 

Next time I’m making  a big breakfast, I make my pancake batter and pop my premade waffles in the toaster! 

Homemade from scratch just got easier!

Ingredients:
1/3/4 flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

3 large eggs, well beaten
4-16 tbsp. melted butter ( I use 8 tbsp. which is 1 stick)
1 1/2 cup milk (I prefer a thicker batter and use only about 1 cup milk. It makes the waffles fluffier.)

Options: add blueberries, crumbled bacon, choc. chips, bananas, nuts, and whipped cream for an even more delicious waffle.

Directions:
Preheat your waffle maker. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet and stir until just combined. Add a small scoop into the waffle maker and cook until toasted.

All it needs is butter and syrup…
Enjoy!
