Waffles

Waffles are quite a big staple in my life (I am surprised I have never blogged about them). In the past few years they have been made almost on a weekly basis (Well not to much as of recent). I have even managed to pass on the love to my in-laws, which is good for several reasons - one being, I no longer the only one making them.

I have tried all sorts, including pumpkin, chocolate, gingerbread, blueberry etc -  and even though some of these waffles were pretty awesome my favourite is still a classic with a bit of orange zest added in for flavour

Here's the recipe I use:

2 cups flour
1 3/4 cups milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter/oil (you can always use less)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
1 T sugar
A slash of vanilla

Optional - the zest of an orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit.

Mix everything together.

Today for a topping, I cut up some apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries and cooked them with a splash of water in a pot until soft. I added cinnamon and sugar till it was sweet enough for me - then I pureed it.

The whipped cream was basic, but instead of sweetening it with sugar I used maple syrup.
