Friday Funday Belgian Waffles

Frozen waffles are great when you’re on the go but why not try making them yourself? They’re healthier and they taste even better. So go ahead and amaze your friends and family this weekend by offering them up some homemade waffles. It’s quick, simple and you can have fun dressing them up with your favorite goodies.

You will need a waffle iron for this recipe. A waffle iron is a good investment. Once you start making homemade waffles you will want to experiment with other fun waffle ideas. These pictures are from a Belgian waffle maker, but the recipe will work for a traditional waffle maker too.

Waffles

Ingredients:

• ·      2 eggs
• ·      2 cups all-purpose flour
• ·      1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ·      4 teaspoons baking powder
• ·      ¼ teaspoon salt
• ·      1-¾ cup milk
• ·      ½ cup vegetable oil

What to do:

1.       Let your waffle iron heat up. Mine stops blinking a red light when it is ready.
2.       Whisk all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 

   

    3.  Pour about ¾ cup of batter onto the waffle iron.

 

   4. Let bake for about 4 minutes or until the lid of the waffle iron starts to lift slightly.

 

Add chocolate chips or blueberries!

Tips

• Most waffle irons are non-stick but if you aren’t sure about yours, spray some cooking oil spray on both sides of the iron.
• You know when waffles are done when they start to turn light brown or the iron stops steaming.
• For extra flavor, try adding in some vanilla and almond extract and a shake of nutmeg.
• Dress up your waffles with whip cream and fresh fruit, they are sure to impress!

Let us know how your waffles turn out! Next Friday Funday we will be sharing a very special Easter Sunday treat!
