Whole Wheat Buttermilk Waffles

The kids like waffles, and I had some buttermilk that I wanted to use up, so I made this recipe tonight. The waffles were really good. I got about 10 rectangle waffles from the recipe. Enough for our family and Mike along with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cantaloupe. It's from food.com. http://www.food.com/recipe/whole-wheat-buttermilk-waffles-353102

Ingredients:

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

3/4 cup butter, melted (1 1/2 sticks)

1/4 cup milk, if desired

1 Put the flours into a mixing bowl and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir with a fork to blend.

2 In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Stir in the buttermilk and the melted butter (cooled off a little). Stir the mixture until well mixed if the batter seems rather thick, add the 1/4 cup milk to thin it. The batter should flow from the spoon, not plop.

3 Bake in a hot waffle iron until crisp and golden. Serve hot.

Whole Wheat Waffles

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 TBSP baking powder

3 eggs

2 cups milk

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

4 1/2 tsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

In small bowl, mix together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

In large bowl, mix together eggs, milk applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. Once combined, add the dry ingredients and stir together.

Bake in a waffle baker that has been greased or sprayed with cooking spray. Keep waffles warm in the oven while you prepare the rest of the waffles.

Notes: These heat up well in the toaster. I don't like to use the Belgium waffle maker for these. The small, rectangular ones heat up better in the toaster.

Made about 10 waffles and fed our family plus Mikey
