Blueberry Waffles

Blueberry waffles topped with a maple and blackberry syrup

 Waffle maker my mom gave us. Still works perfectly

Shane and I had the day off together so we decided to start it off by making waffles together with our "new" waffle maker. I used a recipe from a better homes and garden cookbook that I found at a thrift store for $2.00. We did not have enough maple syrup for both of us so I added blackberry jam to it, mixed and heated it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Here's the recipe if you want to try it. I added my own touch by putting about 1 cup of fresh blueberries in the batter.

Better Homes and Garden Waffle Recipe

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 TBSP baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 egg yolks

1 3/4 cups milk

1/2 cup cooking oil

2 egg whites

In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl beat egg yolks slightly. Beat in milk and oil. Add egg yolk mixture to flour mixture all at once. Stir just till combined but still slightly lumpy.

 In a small bowl beat egg whites till stiff peaks form. gently fold beaten egg whites into flour and egg mixture, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do NOT over mix.

Pour about 1 cup of batter onto the preheated and greased waffle iron and bake accordingly. This recipe makes 3 to 4 waffles.
