The Quarantine Series: Baking

Waffles! Who doesn’t love a crisp and fluffy homemade waffle?

Todays addition to this series, is our favorite waffle recipe! This recipe is really easy and it will give you a good amount of waffles. I will typically double the recipe so that I can have a bunch left over to freeze. My husband loves these and typically will toast one to have with his coffee in the morning. I hope you enjoy these!

Waffles

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 lb butter (2 sticks) unsalted, at room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 2/3 cups milk
• 1/4 cup cornstarch (it may sound weird, but it gives the waffle that extra crisp factor)

Instructions

• Preheat your waffle maker and get it hot
• In a bowl whisk the flour with the baking powder. 
• In another bowl, add the eggs and whisk them with sugar, butter and milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk. 
• Pour about 1/4 cup of your batter into the middle of the waffle maker and close. Bake each waffle for about 3 minutes until it becomes golden-brown.
• Place the baked waffles on a plate and repeat with remaining batter. 

I typically will have a cookie rack available and will let them cool on the rack. Once they are completely cooled I will wrap them in parchment paper and place them in a freezer bag. Then you can just pop in the toaster for an easy no fuss breakfast.

Enjoy!
