WAFFLE WALLOP

Running out of store bought waffle mix prompted me to find a quick waffle recipe online. It is adapted from www.allrecipes.com. In my version, I use organic ingredients. These turned out crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. The whipped cream and blueberries added an additional wallop of flavors.

So, now at the whim of my wife and my cravings for waffles, we have a pack of pre-made waffle mix. Just add the wet ingredients the morning of.

Ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons baking power, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Directions: Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bow until fluffy, add milk, vanilla, oil and beat together. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients, flour, baking power, and salt. Add the wet mix into the dry mix and whisk/blend well until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Spray preheated waffle iron with vegetable oil. Pour mix onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

Above is served with blueberries and whipped cream (1/4 cup heavy whipping cream plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar, whip with hand blender or if you're willing, your hands and whisk).
