This morning I was in the mood for a warm breakfast. I contemplated what to have and decided that some warm homemade waffles were in order. I asked my mom for her magnificent waffle recipe, and then it was off to the mixing bowl to whip up some breakfast.

I love waffles because they are fast to make, and oh so yummy. They are also very versatile.

My mom’s recipe is pretty basic. The waffles are great plain or with a favorite jam or syrup. For a sweeter waffle heap the tbsp’s of sugar, and for a less sweet waffle use regular tbsp’s of sugar.

Mom’s Waffles

2 ½ cups all purpose flour
6 tbsp white sugar
4 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
3 large eggs (beaten)
2 ¼ cups skim milk
1/3 cup olive oil
Olive oil for brushing

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, oil, and milk, and stir just until smooth. The batter should look like this.

Heat waffle iron on medium or high depending on your iron, and brush with oil.

Once the iron is warm spread over some of the batter. Cook until the waffles are slightly golden to lightly brown. Enjoy.
