Yesterday may have started with bacon and eggs, but today was a waffle morning. I have yet to find a good, viable recipe for waffles so I hopped on to http://www.epicurious.com/ to see what I could fine. Nothing I wanted. I checked out http://www.foodnetwork.com/. Same story. Nothing. My solution? Head to the bookshelf. I pulled out our copy of Joy of Cooking and looked up waffles in the index. Page 801: Basic Waffles.
The recipe looked easy and quick (lately Ken has been whipping up the Bisquik waffle which is, indeed, easy and quick). We had everything the recipe called for, but I sent Ken to the store anyway to pick up buttermilk and blueberries. Although I followed the structure of the recipe, I can never, ever, ever follow recipes exactly (what's the fun in that, anyway?). Here's what I ended up doing:
Mix in a large bowl:
1 C whole wheat flour
3/4 C all-purpose flour
1T baking powder
1 T sugar
1/8 t cardamom
In a seperate bowl mix together:
3 well-beaten eggs
5T butter
1 1/2 C buttermilk
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in 3/4 C frozen blueberries. Cook in waffle iron and keep cooked waffles warm in a 200 F oven.
To top the waffles, I mixed a few heaping spoonfuls of Greek yogurt with a bit of honey, cardamom, and buttermilk (add enough buttermilk to thin the mixture but not make it runny).
Delish. Absolutely delish. Next time I might add more cardamom to the batter (if I use blueberries again) and fold in shredded coconut and walnuts (or pecans). These waffles are viable (very much so!).
