Brunch Alert: Plain Waffles

I tagged this as brunch because that's what time woke up and ate. Hey, it happens. We were supposed to head up to the mountains for a ski day but I slipped on ice while walking the dogs and took it as a sign to stay off of ice for the day. So I snuggled up in bed for a few more hours. When I did finally roll out of bed, I wanted a warm breakfast. This waffle recipe is an old recipe and makes basic, plain waffles. I feel some future waffle variations may happen.

Plain Waffles (NW)

Ingredients
1 1/2 c. of AP Flour
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tbs butter, melted
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Scald the milk and set aside. Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt). I don't have a fancy sifter so I use my whisk. 

Separate the egg yolks from egg whites. Beat yolks until light. Beat the egg white until frothy. Add melted butter and egg white to lukewarm milk. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and incorporate well.

Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto hot waffle iron. Let cook for about 2-5 mins. My waffle iron isn't fancy so it took closer to 6 mins for me. 

Let's take a minute while the waffles are cooking to discuss a decent cup of coffee. People, please give up the $2 coffee brands. I received some amazing French Roast from one of my favorite Louisiana coffee shop, Highland Coffees. YUM!

This recipe makes about 4 waffles. Double recipe if you need more.
