My Favorite Waffles

Make these waffles in any type of waffle maker. 

Thick Belgian-style or thinner shaped waffles, like

my heart shaped waffle maker...they are all good. 

Serve with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar

 or warmed maple syrup....or both.

 Mix up the batter and let rest. 

 Spray and preheat a waffle iron.

Pour 1/3 C batter into the center. 

Close and bake until golden.

Keep waffles warm in the oven, along with your 

plates while you bake the rest.

One of the things I love about waffles is that 

unlike pancakes they freeze beautifully.

I always make the full recipe.

Then I can just pop them in the toaster oven to

reheat and enjoy again.

My Favorite Waffles

2 C flour

2 T sugar

1 T baking powder

1/4 t salt

Whisk together in a large bowl. 

~~~~~~~~~~

2 egg yolks

1-3/4 C milk

6 T butter, melted

Whisk together in another bowl, 

then combine with the flour mixture.

~~~~~~~~~

2 beaten egg whites

Fold into the combined batter. 

Let stand 20-30 minutes.

Pour 1/3 C batter in the center of sprayed and 

preheated waffle iron. Close lid and bake until

 golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove and keep warm on a plate in the oven, 

along with your plates while you make the

 rest. Freeze any leftover waffles and use 

a toaster oven to reheat again.

(tip: If you are in a hurry and do not want

to separate the eggs, you can just beat 

the whole eggs until frothy and proceed) 

Makes 10 waffles.

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Roll Swedish Pancakes

I used my Swedish Pancake recipe to make

little mini cinnamon roll pancakes.

 After you make the Swedish Pancakes, stack them

 and keep them warm in the oven with your plates.

 One at a time very lightly brush with melted butter.

 Sprinkle with 1 t cinnamon sugar mixture.

 Roll up.

 Slice and stack on end.

  To serve just dust with a little powdered sugar.

 You can also drizzle with a little glaze. 

We prefer just the powdered sugar.

 Serve on the heated plates.

 Very yummy!

Swedish Pancakes with Mini Chocolate Chips and Raspberries

While I was visiting my two grandchildren in Atlanta 

they showed me their favorite way to eat my
Swedish Pancakes.

They like to add mini chocolate chips and fresh fruit 

like sliced strawberries or my favorite, raspberries. 

 A little sprinkle of lemon juice too.

 Use just a small amount of the mini chocolate chips.

 Scatter on maybe 1 t and loosely roll-up.
The mini chips will melt slightly.

 Then top with fresh fruit. I had raspberries 

and they had sliced strawberries. A little
sprinkle of lemon juice and a

dusting of powdered sugar over the top.
Serve on plates warmed in the oven.

 A little fruit with each bite.

Very yummy! They had a very good idea!

Baked Apple Oatmeal

 Now that the weather is getting chilly 

it's time for this hearty breakfast.

Hot cereal is far more nourishing and satisfying
than cold and it keeps you full longer. 

You can mix this up in the evening before in a
covered bowl, then refrigerate and

bake fresh and warm in the morning.

It will make your kitchen smell wonderful.

Serve in bowls with additional milk or cream.

(my photos are of half the recipe.)

I can reheat any leftovers for a quick breakfast.

This is a great breakfast to serve before a 

fall or winter activity.

Baked Apple Oatmeal

2 C oatmeal

1/2 C brown sugar

2 t cinnamon

2 T butter, melted

4 C milk

2 apples. peeled and chopped

1/2 C chopped pecans

1/2 C raisins or craisins (if desired)

Combine all ingredients and put into a buttered

2 qt casserole. Bake @350 for about 40 minutes

until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Spoon into bowls and serve 

with additional milk or cream.
6-8 servings

Enjoy!

Puffins!

If you don't want to spend time at the stove 

flipping pancakes you can bake these little 

babies in the oven for 8 minutes. 

Kids would love these!

Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins......

 That's a mouthful....so, PUFFINS for short.

 I found this recipe on Bakerella. 

Her recipes have never 'stirred' me wrong.

First I mixed up my own fake buttermilk,

2/3 C milk with 1 t lemon juice. 

Let that sit while you whisk

the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. 

Now add the egg, melted butter and maple syrup

 to the milk and whisk to combine.

 Combine the wet and dry ingredients just 

until mixed in. Do not over-beat. 

Stir in the chocolate chips.

 Fill a well sprayed mini muffin pan.

 It will make 24.

 Bake at 350 for 8 minutes, until puffed.

 The sides will pull away slightly when done.

Let cool a few minutes, then remove.

 Serve warm. Brush tops with a little butter. 

Then dip into warmed maple syrup.

 They taste just like pancakes.

Light and fluffy.
