Great Waffles

                                                 Week 7 ( Save $7)

There are waffles and there are Great Waffles! My definition of a great waffle is light sweet yet buttery, crispy cake of batter baked on waffle iron and it has be able to hold the buttery maple syrupy goodness!

Helpful tips: Whipped egg whites are the secret ingredients to giving waffles the air pockets to create that fluffiness and giving that crisp exterior with the extra sugar. Makes sure you whip the egg whites until soft-peak, then gently fold the whites into the dry batter.

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.   Getting the iron nice and hot means the batter will crisp up as soon as it hits the surface. Don’t forget to spray the iron with vegetable spray.

Did you know that, Store bought pancake mixes actually have a duo purpose recipe on the boxes. It claims to make both pancakes and waffles. Pffff* Note : Pancake batters are designed to make flat pancakes not airy crispy waffles! If you want waffles, it's best to mix up super easy batch or two in no time!
