53 Mondays – Week 37

WAFFLES OF INSANE GREATNESS

Really.  That’s their name.  I had to try them. With that as a name, that’s a lot to live up to, but they were really good waffles.  They were airy and light and crispy without being greasy and really easy to make.  The only drawback is that the batter was only enough for 5-6 normal-sized waffles, which was fine for my family, but maybe not for others. 

I did not have any buttermilk, so I did a little research and used 1 Tbsp lemon juice and enough milk to make 1 cup (or halved for this recipe).  Seemed to work fine for me! 

The recipe and photo are from Annie’s Eats. 

¾3/4 cup all-purpose flour
¼1/4 cup cornstarch
½1/2 tsp. baking powder
¼1/4 tsp. baking soda
½1/2 tsp. salt
½1-1/2 tsp. sugar
½1/2 cup whole milk
½1/2 cup buttermilk
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
¾ 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.  Whisk together to blend.  In another mixing bowl, beat together the whole milk, buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla.  Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk just until incorporated and few lumps remain.  Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat a waffle iron.  Fill waffle wells and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  Cook until crisp and golden.  Serve immediately.
