If your family is anything like ours… breakfast is a big deal.
We recently moved to Texas after spending three long years in Virginia with my husband on sea duty with the Navy. Over those 3 years, we had a total of 12 weeks where we were together as a family. Of those 12 weeks, each 6th day he was required to spend 24 hours on his ship. This took a huge toll on our family time, and really amped up our excitement for weekend breakfasts together, which really seemed like a mini holiday for us. Now… family breakfasts are still a big part of our little family. It means the world to our kids, and has a special place in my heart, and my husband's heart too.
One of our favorite breakfasts is waffles. Sometimes adding a homemade fruit compote to the top… sometimes adding on some cream cheese. There is no shortage of ways to dress up your waffles… and we love how much lighter they end up being compared to pancakes. These are definitely our sons favorites too! (though they typically enjoy having chocolate added)
Base recipe for Waffles
- 1 cup (1 1/4 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (1 oz) einkorn flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- 6 Tbs (3 oz) butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (4oz) sour cream
- 3 Tbs molasses or maple syrup
Mix the ingredients, and add them into your prepped and pre-heated waffle iron. You can also use this as a base for pancakes as well.
