What do you do when your fiance stomps into the house after a bad day and needs something for dinner?
You run for the hills...
But I'm getting married soon, so that option really is unavailable for me.
So tonight... I'm making waffles! Quick and easy and always delicious, waffles are a pretty good fallback option for those in need of a quick dinner option, which as you can guess, I was. I'm just lucky I didn't get into a fight about not having dinner ready for when she got home from...work... hmm. A gender reversal... I'm not sure I'm a fan. I guess I had better watch more Mad Men episodes to get it right!
As I mentioned however, this is just a quick meal and a quick post as I have two final exams in the next two days. Sorry it isn't anything too exciting, although at one point I'd LOVE to make This Waffle Recipe again, as it was truly amazing. I just never got the chance to write about it!
Anyway, I should get back to the books! Wish me luck!
Flour - 1 1/2 cups
Sugar - 2 tbsps
Baking Powder - 1 tbsp
Salt - a healthy pinch
Eggs - 2, beaten
Milk - 1 1/2 cups
Melted Butter - 1/4 cup
In a large bowl, stir the dry ingredients together.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and butter. Add to the dry ingredients.
Beat this mixture until smooth, but don't over due it. You want it to be well blended, but not whipped.
Ladle or pour into a waffle iron and cook until desired colour (Golden brown of course!)
Serve with butter and actual maple syrup! None of that Aunt Jemima sugar liquid!
Good luck with your exams! I love waffles and this sounds like a great recipe. i can never get my waffles to look like that in my waffle maker. I always have a bunch of half waffles.
ReplyDeletewaffles are a fantastic way to cheer up anyone who's had a bad day.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck for the exams! When are you getting married? I love waffles! When I was expecting my first, I lived on a diet of waffles (with butter and maple syrup), a bar of cadbury and multi vitamins during the morning sickness phase! Still love them but have never made them, must try your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm tying the knot in late June! It's coming up! This is just a basic family recipe for waffles, but I hope you like them!
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with a good waffle dinner! What a nice fiancé you are! I love your "actual maple syrup" comment. I can tell you are from Canada! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd proud!
DeleteMmm... I love waffles! Some of my favourite dinners are actually breakfasts!
ReplyDeleteWe do breakfast for dinner often, since I am not a fan of eating early in the morning and my husband is always up at 6 or 7...just a few hours after I go to sleep some nights. Waffles are a great choice. You know somehow when we were all in school the first time through, we began making pancakes to celebrate special events like passing big tests or graduating. My group of friends all did this so we knew every big accomplishment meant pancakes for everyone. Pancakes or waffles are also a good comfort food after a hard day, expecially with strawberries and whipped cream or making them with pumpkin and toasted pecans.
