Wake Up in the Morning, Feeling like some Waffles!


So, I woke up this morning wanting to make waffles! So, that's exactly what I did, I got out of bed and made waffles.

It's the recipe my mom has used my whole life, so it's what I like.

I'm trying to make thins "healthier" and more "carb friendly

So, I only use whole wheat flour any more. This made the waffles kind of interesting compared to when my momma makes them, but they were still good!

I also used sugar free syrup, so my version of breakfast was a healthier version of waffles, but you can make them with the flour you have and use the syrup of your preference.

The recipe is easily halved, doubled, or quartered even! I quarter when I'm making waffles just for myself. It makes it interesting with the eggs, cause you'll notice it then calls for 1/2 egg. I still use a whole egg, however this morning I thought about how I could possibly get just half the egg in the batter.

Also, my momma likes to use pecans in her waffles, so the recipe is easy, so you can add anything in it that you want! My sister adds chocolate chips. I'm sure you can think of other things that can be added, fruit maybe? Or anything you want, it should work!

Here's the recipe:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, melted
2 c. flour
1 c. milk
2 eggs

Separate the eggs! Mix the butter, flour, milk, and egg yolks. Beat the eggs whites and fold into the batter.

Then use a waffle iron and make waffles!

Enjoy!
