Saturday Morning Waffles

A couple weeks ago I had about 25 extra minutes to kill before I picked the boys up from preschool so I stopped at the Goodwill around the corner. I typically don't like to go to Goodwill, because the other shoppers in that store look cannibalistic as they peruse the merchandise, hunting out all the "good stuff" before someone else gets it - no! I saw that suitcase from 1976 first! It's mine!MINE!
And it smells weird.

But anyway, I stopped there anyway and I bought a wafflemaker for $2.
And it's made me happy.

Here's the waffle recipe that I've been using:

1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. white flour
-->You can just use 2 c. of regular flour if that's all you've got <---
4 tsp. baking powder
2 TBSP. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. warm milk
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon

I also added: 2 TBSP. wheat germ and about 2 tsp. of flax seed.
But if you don't want wheat germ and flax seed, or if you don't even know where wheat germ and flax seed are located in the grocery store, then you can just skip those.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, then in a separate bowl beat the 2 eggs and add in the milk, butter, & vanilla.
Then mix it into your dry ingredients. Don't overmix it, (it should be lumpy) or the waffles will be dense. Pour some batter into the wafflemaker and let it cook until they're golden brown (they will have stopped smoking).
Transfer to a cooking rack (so they don't get soggy). You can also double the batch and freeze them just like freezer waffles and toast them on another day.

Go forth. Make waffles.
