Waffle batter recipe.

[DrewKaree]

I'm about to grip on some Eggo's, but Santa the fat daisy is bringing me a waffle iron.  One of you nutjobs here HAS to have some semi-top-secret batter recipe you want to pass down to your kids.  Make with it.

[duffjr]

well, you know i have a recipe, but you don't want to know where it's been...

[DrewKaree]

I'll try to ignore the burnt edges.  Next time buy some rolling papers when you head to the store, hippy.

Let me get this straight ... a thread in EE, started by DK where it would be natural for me to post ... this is a trick, right ?

Is it April already ?

This is not mine, but I was using it as a basis for experimentation on weekends at the cottage (where the waffle iron lives) ... only I never ended up making waffles that often ... something about late nights, hot tubs and fine Canadian lager ...


2 cups flour (regular, all-purpose flour)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar (regular granulated white sugar)
2 eggs (seperate whites and yolks)
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Combine the first four ingredients in your large bowl (and combine them well, sifting preferred).

In your smaller bowl, combine the egg yolks, milk and oil.

Make a well in the centre of the large bowl and dump the contents of the smaller bowl into the large bowl. Mix well.

Beat egg whites in yet a smaller bowl (or rinse & dry the last small bowl) until stiff. Add to the batter &  mix well.

Cook according to instructions in your waffle iron.


I've got a Belgian waffle recipe that's not bad, but I don't have the patience to wait for the dough to rise in the mornings.


OK -- I'm going to split back to the straight part of the forum before c64 shows up !

Cheers.

EDIT: It should have been *2* eggs, not 4 ...

To add on what Jeffo said, being stationed in Belgium has its advantages.

1. Beer
2. Waffles
3. Beer

MOST waffles here in Belgium aren't made plain. There's always somethin in them. One of the most common is the Sugar Waffle. A Sugar Waffle has lumps of raw sugar (about the size of a pea) mixed in. The clumps are added just after the batter is thrown on the griddle.

Another is the Nut Waffle. Throw a handful of chopped Pecans, Walnuts, or Macadamia (sp) nuts in the batter and prepare as normal.

If you're not big on nuts, try adding a handful of chocolate chips for Choco-Waffles (The Belgian favorite)

Then there are the Fruit Waffles (my personal favorite). Slice up Bananas, Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Apricots, or Peaches and throw those in the mix. Add some whipped cream and a sprig of mint and you're got yourself a traditional Belgian Waffle.

Another twist - take some Nestle Quik (or your favorite powdered choc drink mix) and mix in with the batter.

Instant chocolate waffles.

I've been using a recipe out of a 1950 or 60 cookbook I inherited...  The recipes in there are still all about taste and not about health.

[Jabba]

I say add some Jack Daniels. That would make em good and tasty...

Don't forget the Cinnamon!

I was lucky enough to get one of those semi-restaurant quality flippy waffle makers for my birthday.  It works great and costs about $50 at Sam's Club.

Here's the one I have been using.  I tried a couple, but kept going back to this one.  It's similar to the one CheffoJeffo posted, but less eggs and butter (or margarine) instead of oil.  I get about 6 waffles out of it.

      2 cups all-purpose flour
      3 tablespoons sugar
      1 tablespoon baking powder
      1 teaspoon salt
      2 eggs
      1/4 cup melted butter
      1 1/2 cups milk, as needed

1. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Stir with a wire whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the melted butter, eggs and about 1 1/2 cups of milk. Blend with a wire whisk until smooth and free from lumps. Batter should be thick but still pour slowly from a ladle or measuring cup. Add more milk as needed to obtain a thick but pourable consistency. If the batter becomes too thin, stir in a teaspoon or two of additional flour.
2.  Use appropriate amounts of batter for your particular iron.  A shot of vegetable oil based cooking spray on the irons helps.
3. When done, remove waffle and place on a wire rack for about 30 seconds, then serve immediately. Note: Waffles may be kept warm in a preheated 300

Don't bother eating that crap for breakfast, break out the ice cream and make a sandwich.

Ack ... the 4 eggs was a typo, should have been 2 ... thinking about it, melted butter probably tastes better, too ...

One of the best boardwalk foods ever (Wildwood - only thing Jersey is good for) is the waffle/ice cream sandwich.  A bit messy, but food unequaled.

The smell of salt spray, the taste of the warm waffle with the cold ice cream, the hilarious sight of women in high heels attempting to walk and not get stuck in the cracks, the even funnier sight of their husbands grinning that "I told you so" grin...

Memories.

[JackTucky]

Wondering if that's a NJ only thing?   Lived there most of my life, now I'm in Indiana where they don't have much taste.

Similar to when I lived in Florida...

Testosterone filled men would get on the boardwalk in Pensacola and walk around shirtless/barefoot strutting and posturing themselves to look as manly as possible.......that is until they got a splinter the size of a 2x4 stuck in their heel and began sobbing like an 8 year old girl.

I almost cried... that is my childhood summers right there haha.  Wildwood Crest, the boardwalk, that damn trolley, and waffle ice cream sandwiches..... awesome.

I wish it was summer...

Point Pleasant Beach for me.

poor guy.  Could be worse though... could be Sandy Hook. 

Point Pleasant is my "day trip" beach, but if i'm going on vacation, its Wildwood or nothing.

[Ed_McCarron]

that damn trolley

Its a tram.  As in "Watch the tram car, please."

Or, when you have a driver with questionable reflexes:

"Wa  Wa  Wa Watch the tra Watch the tram car please."

You'd think they'd make the recording play once for each button press, instead of requiring Old Drunk Bob to hold it down while trying to avoid pedestrians and run down seagulls at the same time.

Sandy hook 13g? was the nude beach, correct?

PPB was what I was looking for back then, beach during day, nightlife at night.  Met my wife there, so I must have done something right.

We always heard Wildwood was a "Philadelphia" beach.  Lots of philadelphia guidos.  But we had staten island guidos at PPB, so, what's the difference?

Guido = really italian guy.

Also known as nicki newark, vinnie verrazano.

When I think of a guido, I think of Eddie Murphy's movie Raw.  "You heard me <racist>, pay for my candy!"

ROCKO!  ROCKY!

Going back, Brigantine used to be cool, too.

Remember the castle???

Tocatta and Fugue on the organ still gives me the willies.

I have no cooking skills, my wife has banned me from the kitchen forever due to one little incedent involving me trying to make toast in the oven, then trying to scramble eggs in the microwave....

oh and there was another time when I tried to make a tunafish sandwich but didn't know where the can opener was....

there may have been a few more, but basically I am not allwoed in there unless it's to get something out of the fridge........


besides cooking is woman's work

so you trying to cook now huh Drew? What's next your gonna quit wearing shoes in the kitchen.......

yeah, I'm not sure what made me say trolley.  I'm ashamed

That's the one I'm gettin'!  Good to hear you consider it "lucky" too.  We do the freezer thing with pancakes, but never had a waffle iron that worked "right" enough to make waffles, so I gave up on 'em and we just picked up Eggo's.  Don't ask me HOW a waffle iron can't work right, it just DIDN'T.   Splits, leaks, bad cooking spots on the thing.

Now I wanna go beat santa and take my waffle iron outta the box right now

I was hoping for one of those toasters that cooks the egg on top.  Anyone seen those?  Those sold quicker than anything else I've ever seen around Christmastime. 

Wondering if that's a NJ only thing? Lived there most of my life, now I'm in Indiana where they don't have much taste.

Nah, you just happened to move to the blandest area in America   You've also had your version of "taste" tainted by living in Joisey.
