Belgian Waffles


We've created a little Sunday tradition in our family - Waffles for lunch. And if we don't have fresh strawberries and whipped cream, I get a few whimpers from the kids.

This recipe is my grandmother's and it's quite simple and tasty.

4 eggs, separated
2 C. warm milk
2 T. sugar
1 T. yeast
2 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C. oil

Beat egg whites. Set aside. Mix together milk, sugar and yeast. Add egg yolks & vanilla. Mix together then add flour and oil. Then fold in egg whites. May be kept covered in fridge for 1-2 weeks. Can use water instead of milk.

Cook on hot waffle iron.

If you don't have any strawberries - which you should this time of year - then maple syrup and powdered sugar will do. My other personal favorite is pear sauce. I throw a bottle of my canned pears into the blender, and whalah, pear sauce. It's awesome on waffles and pancakes.

Enjoy!!
