Waffles

One of my favourite things in the whole entire world is hotel breakfast buffets. My favourite part (and my favourite breakfast dish overall) has always been the waffles! I'm almost more excited about the rotating waffle maker and the light, crispy waffles than the actual vacation or outing (I'm still like this even though I now own one of them) Making them takes me back to vacations and how excited I feel to start the day! My version is almost identical so I hope you enjoy and try to recreate it!


Ingredients:
1. 2 cups all purpose flour
2. 1 tsp salt
3. 4 tsp baking powder
4. 2 tbsp white sugar
5. 2 eggs
6. 1 1/2 cups warm whole/full cream milk
7. 1/3 cup melted butter
8. 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Method:
1. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature. This will differ for different brands of waffle makers (I use one by Oster and turn it on the highest temperature as I like my waffles as crispy as can be)
2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar and set aside.
3. Melt butter in sauce pan over low/medium heat. Low if you can't babysit it; medium if you can monitor it (you don't wanna end up with brown butter)
4. Heat milk in a sauce pan on low heat until any coldness or chill has gone away (do NOT bring to a boil)
5. Lightly beat eggs & add milk, butter and sugar. Stir all together quickly to ensure that the slightly heated milk doesn't scramble the eggs.
6. Pour batter into waffle iron until grids are full, but do not overfill!  
7. When timer goes off, gently remove waffle onto cooling rack or plate if it will be eaten immediately .
8. Serve with whatever toppings you like! (My personal favourites are maple syrup, strawberries & whipped cream)

Tips:
1. Read the instructions for your waffle iron carefully and thoroughly.
2. Put waffles on a cooling rack if you won't be eating them immediately as putting them onto a plate will cause the bottom to become soggy.
3. They're freezer friendly! Toast them just like you'd toast store-bought waffles :)
4. You can make numerous variations by adding your favourite things to the batter. I love making chocolate chip, blueberry, strawberry, nutella & apple cinnamon variations!
