We have a little tradition in our house - Sunday Morning Waffles (yum!)
Being from England (Pete), I prefer them with butter and salt, but the rest of the family prefer sweet things on them - Jam (jelly?), Maple Syrup, Peanut Butter... and often all at the same time!

A food crisis last week (we had forgotten to go shopping) resulted in my having to change the recipe we use for the waffles, and surprisingly enough, it worked! The change was to use 1% Milk instead of full-fat, and it gave a delicious light texture to the waffles. Note, however, that like most Waffle recipes, it isn't diet friendly..

Ingredients

2½ Cups Whole Wheat Flour, stirred and measured
¾ teaspoon Salt
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1½ tablespoons Sugar
2 Beaten Eggs
2¼ Cups 1% (Skimmed) Milk
½ Cup Vegetable Oil

Method

Mix the Eggs, Milk and Vegetable Oil in a blender.

Combine the dry ingredients, and add to the blender just before baking.

Blend until smooth, and bake in a hot Waffle Iron

Yield

Makes 12 waffles. Which will disappear in as many minutes, if our family is anything to go by!

Pete.
