MY HUSBAND WANTED TO MAKE OATS AND EGGS FOR BREAKFAST. AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE OATS AND EGGS, BUT I WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING WE DON'T NORMALLY HAVE. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME....WAFFLES!!! SO I WENT SEARCHING ON PINTEREST. I SEARCHED FOR A SIMPLE WAFFLE RECIPE AND STUMBLED UPON ADRIANNE'S CLASSIC WAFFLE RECIPE OVER AT HAPPY HOUR PROJECTS. IT'S A GOOD ONE. AS YOU CAN SEE, MY SON LUKE HAS ALMOST EATEN A WHOLE ONE.
BUT BEFORE I MADE THE WAFFLE BATTER, I WHIPPED UP SOME BLUEBERRY BUTTER. I WAS WATCHING NONE OTHER THAN "THE PIONEER WOMAN." SHE MADE FRENCH TOAST WITH BERRY BUTTER. I THOUGHT BLUEBERRY BUTTER & WAFFLES WOULD GO HAND AND HAND.YOU NEED TO SET YOUR BUTTER OUT SO IT CAN COME TO ROOM TEMPERATURE. I AM IMPATIENT, SO I PUT THE STICK OF BUTTER IN THE MICROWAVE FOR 3-4 SECONDS AT A TIME, FLIPPING THE BUTTER A QUARTER OF A TURN EACH TIME. IT COMES TO ROOM TEMPERATURE A LOT FASTER THIS WAY. THROW THE STICK OF BUTTER IN THE MIXER WITH THE BLUEBERRIES. WHIP THEM UNTIL THE BERRIES BREAK UP.
DUMP THE BERRY BUTTER ONTO SOME PLASTIC WRAP.
ROLL UP THE BUTTER IN THE PLASTIC WRAP.
WRAP THE PLASTIC WITH TIN FOIL AND POP IT IN THE FREEZER TO FIRM UP.
SO, ON TO THE WAFFLES.
YOU WILL NEED:
- 2 EGGS
- 1 CUP OF MILK
- 2 TBSP SOFTENED BUTTER
- 1 TBSP OF SUGAR
- 1/2 TSP OF VANILLA
- 1 CUP OF FLOUR
- 1 TSP OF BAKING POWDER
TODAY, WE HAD OUR NIECES OVER, SO I DOUBLED THE RECIPE.
JOSH AND LUKE MANNED THE WAFFLE MAKER.
JOSH WANTED BACON INSIDE HIS WAFFLES. NO PROBLEM. I KEEP COOKED BACON ON HAND IN THE FREEZER. I HAPPENED TO HAVE MAPLE FLAVORED BACON ON HAND SO IT WENT PERFECT WITH THE WAFFLES AND MAPLE SYRUP.
JOSH POURED SOME BATTER ON THE WAFFLE MAKER FIRST, THEN ADDED THE BACON, AND THEN HE POURED MORE BATTER ON TOP OF THE BACON.
THESE CLASSIC WAFFLES WERE A GREAT START TO A SUNDAY MORNING.
LET ME KNOW HOW YOURS TURNED OUT!
