Ultimate Waffles

The Best Waffles

 

These waffles are the greatest, and not to mention that they are super easy to make. I love to make them in my Belgium waffle iron and put a lot of toppings on it. It is very filling and sometimes even fills for 2 meals. All you need is:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Heat Waffle iron. Sift dry ingredients together and blend liquid ingredients together. Stir dry ingredients into liquid just until moist, but if you over-stir then the waffles can turn out less fluffy and more stiff. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray, pour in enough batter for the waffle, and close. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until waffle is golden.

Now, if you want an ultimate waffle, here is the vanilla sauce recipe to spread on top of it:

 Creamy Vanilla Sauce

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour and sugar. Add milk and cook and stir over medium heat until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

In addition to vanilla sauce, I love to add berries, bananas, and a small bit  of whipped cream and powdered sugar. It seems daring and yes it is sweet, but it is worth it!!

Note: These recipes come from the cook book Cooking for Two. It would be a great book for couples, but if you are in college (like me), most of the recipes will allow you to have a serving and a left over, that way you don't have left overs coming out your ears!
