Waffle party!

My daughter and son-in-law had not had a successful waffle experience with their waffle maker so we decided to have a waffle party and use a new recipe I had tried. This waffle recipe is great. It does have to sit for 30 min. before you cook it, so plan for that. The original recipe does not feed very many. I had to triple it for 5 of us. (I was feeding very hungry people though.)

Waffles of Insane Greatness

3/4 c. all purpose flour

1/4 c. cornstarch

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. sugar

1/2 c. whole milk (we used 1 % because that is what we had!)

1/2 c. buttermilk

1/3 c. oil

1 large egg, lightly beaten

3/4 tsp. vanilla

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Whisk together to blend.

In another mixing bowl, beat together the milk, buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk just until incorporated and a few lumps remain. Set aside to rest for 30 min.

Preheat waffle iron. Cook until crisp and golden.

Yield: depends on size/shape of your waffle iron.

(We used a Belgian waffle maker and needed to triple the recipe for 5 people. I didn't keep track of how many it made but we did have one whole waffle left over.)


**Here's your recipe in a card!

Raspberry Syrup

2 c. frozen raspberries, thawed

1/2 c. hot water

1 1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. light corn syrup

1 T. lemon juice

Blend raspberries and hot water in blender or food processor. Strain into medium saucepan. Discard seeds. Add sugar and corn syrup to raspberry juice. Stir to combine well. Add lemon juice. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 min. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Yields 2-3 cups.

We weren't able to strain all of the seeds, but because they were blended in my food processor, they didn't seem to bother anyone when they ate they syrup. This was easy to make and very tasty. We have always liked fruit syrups in our house.
