I waffle you.

May 30, 2020

I waffle you. . No healthy versions here. If you want to eat a good waffle, go with the real deal. Variations, yes! That’s acceptable. But don’t skimp out on the buttery and syrupy goodness. Just add a good hour or more of exercise to your day to balance it off. . My recipe comes from a good old neighbor. I use this for both waffles and pancakes and they come out flawless. 1 cup flour, 1 cup buttermilk (I make this fresh by mixing yogurt and water to get a heavy cream consistency, the taste is better than store bought, but that works too), 1 egg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, about a quarter cup of melted butter (you can go with a little less). I sometimes add a spoonful of sugar to the batter as well. Mix, fluff the batter well and in it goes into the waffle iron. Every waffle comes out full of golden goodness. . Variations featured here: Left: Chocolate chip waffles - Once you spoon the batter in the iron, top the waffle with a generous helping of chocolate chips. Serve topped with more chocolate chips and syrup. This is a full on sugar rush! Kids love them. . Center: Fig and granola waffles - Add either fresh fig purée or a spoonful of fig jam to batter, mix well and spoon into waffle iron. Serve topped with fig jam or honey and crunchy granola. I prefer orange honey on these. Picked up some real good farm fresh honey from Mont Tremblant on our last trip and it goes perfectly with these fig waffles. . Right: Simply plain waffles served with fresh blueberries on top. Berries always go well with waffles and pancakes. Top it off with some butter and syrup or honey. Yummy! . There’s something about breakfast, especially when the family makes it together and savors it over chatter and clatter with the sun rays peering through the window. It just makes you smile! 😊 . . . . . #breakfast #breakfastideas #saturdayvibes #saturday #saturdaymorning #breakfasttime #platedexpressions #waffles #chocolatechipwaffles #figwaffles #plainwaffles #wafflelove #todaybreakfast #damnthatsdelish #foodartchefs #huffposttaste #thekitchen #cooksillustrated #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodstagram #artofplating #plating #lovetoeat #foodlover #cookniche #letseat
