As it is the custom, every Saturday my husband makes breakfast and feeds the little man some food to tide him over until breakfast time. I got up one Saturday and my husband decided to surprise me with homemade waffles. He knows I am a sucker for waffles, especially ones with whipped cream and raspberries on top. These waffles were golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I definitely felt special while eating these pancakes.
After a busy week of Christmas gatherings with family, my husband looked like he needed to be relieved from breakfast duties. So I took over and made him the same waffles he had made me weeks earlier. I topped my waffles with Cranberry Blueberry Sauce and fresh whipped cream. These waffles are definitely a wonderful way to start the day.
Makes: 10 large waffles
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp white sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups warm milk (heat for 45 to 60 seconds in the microwave)
1/3 cup butter, melted (defrost on quick setting in the microwave)
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
2. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla.
4. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until the flour is just incorporated.
5. Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron.
6. Cook the waffles until it is golden and crisp (about 8 minutes in my waffle maker).
7. Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Serve immediately.

TIP
- If you have any leftover waffles, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminium foil. To cook the waffles from frozen, pop the waffles into your toaster.
