Homemade Waffles

Two breakfast posts in a row?! Yup!

I love making breakfast on Saturdays. It's kind of my celebration that it's the weekend - before all the chores start that is ha! Homemade waffles are super easy and I guarantee you won't be buying that boxed nonsense ever again.

Have I mentioned that I like customizable recipes? You can make these special by adding: chocolate chips, blueberries (fresh or dried), diced strawberries, diced apples and cinnamon, etc.

Homemade Waffles

Makes: 8 square waffles

1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a bowl.
• Add the egg, milk, and butter.
• Gently whisk until the ingredients are just combined. Don't worry about getting out all of the lumps. They will dissolve when you let the batter sit while the waffle iron is heating up. If you over-whisk, the waffles will come out tough and chewy.
• Heat your waffle iron. Mine doesn't give an option to control the temperature. If yours does, set it to high.
• Lightly spray the waffle iron with some cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• With a measuring cup or large serving spoon, pour some of the batter into waffle iron. Mine makes two square waffles at a time.
• Close the lid and allow to cook for 3 - 4 minutes until golden brown.
• Repeat with the remaining batter.
