Waffles!

I've been watching Good Eats again, and you know what happens when one of us does that. GE 09x09 The Waffle Truth has reminded me, yet again, that we need to make waffles from scratch. AB's recipes are generally a good place to start, and so I give you, for easy reference:

The Basic Waffle:
1 cup AP flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
Vegetable spray, for waffle iron

While the waffle iron is preheating, in a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (include the sugar). In another bowl beat eggs and melted butter together until smooth, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet to the dry and stir until lumpy but combined. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.

…We already know how to cook waffles, etc... Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.

The Chocolate Waffle!:
1.5 cups AP flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/2 stick of butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Vegetable spray, for waffle iron

While the waffle iron is preheating, in a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (include the sugar, but not chips). In another bowl beat eggs, melted butter, and vanilla together until smooth, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet to the dry, then add the chocolate chips and stir until lumpy but combined. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.

If you prefer, the ounce measurements and the full directions are available in the original recipes. Mmmm, time to go make waffles... in a week.
