Waffles with Mangoes and Cream

Since we are on school break, we have been baking and cooking a lot. Breakfast for dinner is our favorite! So waffles it is.  We doubled the recipe for the waffle recipe, because it is just so darn delicious and it is so easy to start your waffle iron for another day and have the batter ready whenever you like. We are always in NYC for Christmas but this year we are home. We always go to our favorite Greek restaurant and they serve us Waffles with fresh Strawberries. These waffles are just as wonderful as our Greek friends waffles. Give them a try!

Classic Waffles

Ingredients

2 cups Flour
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Milk
5 Tablespoons Melted Shortening
4 Tablespoons Melted Butter

Directions

Preheat Waffle Iron, spray with vegetable oil if non stick, I still spray my waffle iron and it is a non -stick waffle iron. 
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix in eggs, milk, shortening and butter. Add batter to heated waffle iron, I add 1/3 cup of batter, my waffle iron is a 2 waffle iron, add more batter if your iron is larger. Cook until light says ready or until brown and crisp. Keep warm in the oven until all the waffles are done. Add freshly cut mangoes and whipped cream. Enjoy!

Easy Homemade Waffles

Delicious waffles

Waffles are my weekend morning dish. Extra time for making and eating- no rushing. Drizzle syrup or add fresh fruit and whipped cream.






















Easy Home Made Waffles. Get yourself a waffle maker. Most modern waffle makers are non stick, if it isn't, spray non-stick vegetable oil lightly or brush lightly with oil.

When the light indicator is ready, pour batter. The light indicator will go on again and the waffle will be steaming and you will smell deliciousness. The first waffle often sticks. Thin batter makes tender waffles.

Ingredients :

• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method :

1. Mix the eggs, milk, and oil in a large bowl. 
2. Stir in the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and mix until blended. 
3. Heat the waffle iron, brush or spray oil lightly if necessary. 
4. Pour in enough batter to just fill. 
5. Close until the steaming stops and waffles are crisp, tender and brown.
