The Tasty Treat Of Delicious Waffles
By Ben Cook | February 4, 2010
A breakfast that will be eaten quicker than can be put on the plate is waffles. A hearty weekend fare, this type of breakfast item will surely please any palate. There are many different types of waffles that can be created. Sit the family down and make some for the weekend.
For example, these treats are typically made on waffle irons. A batter is created using eggs, flour, oil, milk, a little bit of sugar and baking powder. Once this is mixed together a wonderful batter is formed. To make a fancier waffle all you need to do is add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, blueberries or banana slices to the batter.
Once the batter is made, about a cup is poured onto the hot waffle iron. It is easy to find many different types of irons in the stores today. A regular iron will create a waffle about one inch thick and round. It will give the diner about four pieces of waffle.
An interesting model is the Belgium waffle maker. This type of waffle is a thicker waffle. It comes out of the iron about two inches thick. It still has the four pieces in a round shape. Finally, there are waffle irons that make a big square type of waffle. These waffles are about one foot by one foot long and are made into four squares. It typically takes a waffle almost five minutes to cook on the waffle iron.
Removing waffles used to be a true headache in the past. Waffles would stick and make quite a mess. With the invention of Teflon, waffles have come a long way. They easily remove from the iron.
Toppings are always fun for families. Kids love to dress up their own waffle. Many folks like the old standby of maple syrup and butter. However, a fancy birthday waffle can be made by adding some Cool Whip and sprinkle on fruit like sliced strawberries, bananas or blueberries. If Cool Whip is not your desire, a healthier option would be to substitute yogurt in lieu of it and pile on the fruit. Also kids do not forget the sprinkles. Besides maple syrup, there are many options for the diner. There are strawberry and blueberry in the stores to try.
If you want to please and surprise your family with a weekend treat, try waffles. They could be made traditionally or very fancy. They are cheap to make and chances are all the supplies are in your pantry. Add some toppings and voila, a delicious breakfast.
One can find numerous variations of waffles that can be made. All will be gobbled-up by your willing taste testers. Fantastic easy waffle recipes for waffle makers a single click away.
