This hearty waffle recipe comes from an issue of Parent's Magazine. Ive made it every week for years and it comes out great every time. I double it and freeze the leftover waffles and reheat in toaster oven.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 2/3 cups milk (I particularly like canned evaporated milk for some of it)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (you can substitute wheat germ for 1/4 cup of white flour)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all dry ingredients together using a large whisk.
  2. 2
    Mix the wet ingredients together.
  3. 3
    Gently combine but don't overmix.
  4. 4
    Cook as your waffle maker directs.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle with powdered sugar (my daughter).
  6. 6
    Cover with toasted nuts, bananas, and real maple syrup (Me!).
  7. 7
    Pour on log Cabin (my son) and Michele's Maple Cream Syrup for my husband!

    They were light and fuffy without having to whip the egg white. I also subtituted rum extract since I did not have maple. May have to get some now I know these waffles are so gooooooood.

    Filling but very light in texture. We all enjoyed them enormously. The only change I made was that I used rum extract as I didn't have maple extract but I served the waffles with maple syrup so the two flavours complemented each other nicely. This will be my regular waffle recipe from now on!

    I've tried a bunch of waffle recipes over the last couple of months and none really were 'it'.. This is "IT"... I made these waffles every Sat for the last 3 weekends and everyone loves them. I double it and freeze the leftovers. I added some Whole Wheat flower last time and while my husband noticed, he still liked it. I also added blueberries becuase I had some that I had to use up. Yummy!!!
