Waffles

In my view, you need three things to get a Waffle right – a good recipe, the right Waffle iron and a little bit of patience. You need patience because, with most waffle irons, you need to use it for a few times before it starts browning your waffle evenly. Didn’t get it right the first time? Hang in there..with a few tries you should be all set. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions to the T, I ruined my first waffle iron by using cooking spray because I didn’t read through the instructions – ugh!.
After a recent trip to Boyne mountain, I fell in love with Waffles again and decided to buy a new waffle iron and end up with Hamilton Beach Waffle Iron after I found out that I could remove the grill plates for cleaning plus the review was great! So far so good and I love it. Now that I have shared with you the details around the Waffle Iron I use, here’s the recipe. I adapted this recipe from AllRecipes.com and made a few changes such as replaced half of the all the purpose flour with whole wheat flour and increased the amount of sugar slightly. I wasn’t sure how the recipe would turn out after adding whole wheat flour to the mix, but to be honest, I didn’t notice the difference and maybe next time, who knows I will be brave enough to make waffles with only whole wheat flour. For now, here’s the recipe for some yummy Belgian Waffles – serve warm with whipped cream and maple syrup (make sure you buy the pure organic one with no cane sugar – you will notice the difference in taste immediately)
