Featured Recipe FOR February
Cinnamon Waffles For Your Sweet Valentine
Surprise your sweetie with this classic fluffy buttermilk recipe to let him or her know you care enough to make waffles! If you don't have a heart-shaped waffle iron, fold a sheet of paper in half and out cut a heart that you can use when you finish the waffles with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk, (shaken well)
1/2 cup (1 stick, melted but slightly cool)
3 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping
1/2 cup powdered confection sugar
Shaker of ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 200F degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
3. Separate the whites from the eggs and beat or whisk until they hold soft peaks.
4. Make a well inside the dry ingredients and add buttermilk (shake well before adding), butter, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Gentry folder ingredients and whisk until smooth, being care to not over-mix.
5. Pour the batter into each well of the waffle maker. Cook the waffles until golden brown: 4 – 6 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
6. Waffles are best if they are served immediately or within a short time. If needed, they can be reheated
in your oven or even a toaster.
7. Just prior to serving, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon followed by powdered sugar. If you are using a
heart-shaped cutout, you'll want to make the heart slightly smaller than the waffle.
- Place the cutout directly over the waffle and sprinkle the cinnamon and powdered sugar, or
- Sprinkle powered sugar over the waffles, then using the cutout, sprinkle a fine layer of cinnamon of
each waffle, or
- Place two waffles next to each other, sprinkle both with powdered sugar. Please the cutout so that
the heart equally overlaps both of them and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.... or well, you get idea...
