What’s your weekend routine? Since Sunday morning is the only morning my whole family is at home during the week we try to make a special brunch. This weekend we did waffles.
We are officially parents to only teenagers. After not getting a full night’s sleep & never sleeping in for 12 years I never thought we would get to the point where we would be able to sleep in until we wanted to get up. And be the first ones awake! All 4 of my kids have decided that sleeping in is the best thing ever. So those of you who are still dealing with very early morning wake up trade-offs (you get up today and I will do next weekend) the time will come when you will have to wake those kids up!
Weekend Brunch Waffles
Weekend Brunch Waffles
I use a very basic waffle recipe that is easy to make yet delicious.
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 eggs (separated )
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1 3/4 cups milk ((cow or almond both work))
- In a large bowl whisk together all of the dry ingredients.
-
Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the dry ingredient mixture, and put the whites in a mixing bowl.
-
Beat whites until stiff.
-
Add milk and melted butter to dry ingredient mixture and stir together.
-
Add milk and melted butter to dry ingredient mixture and stir together.
-
Measure out the amount that fits into your waffle iron. Usually between 1/2 – 3/4 cup. (Amount will vary depending upon brand and size of waffle iron.)
-
Cook waffles until done. Follow your waffle iron directions.
My kids like to top waffles with all kinds of good things:
- butter
- syrup
- chocolate sauce
- fruit
- nuts
- powdered sugar
- peanut butter
- Nutella
- Biscoff
- whip cream
You name it they top a waffle with it.
Oh PS! We have six people in our family and we have to at least double this recipe. With 4 teenagers we go through a lot of food. This week I tripled it and had 4 waffles left for the girls to warm up this week for breakfast. You can triple this recipe when you have house guests and make a waffle bar brunch. Your guests will be very happy.
