Waffles!

As a post-Christmas gift to ourselves, we bought a waffle maker from King Arthur Flour, and we couldn't be happier with these warm, heart-shaped treats. 

Below are two recipes that came with the maker. We've only made the "Quick Waffles" but they were great!

  • 1/2 tsp Salt
Directions
  1. Beat whole eggs in a bowl until thick
  2. Beat milk, melted butter, and vanilla into eggs
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt
  4. Sift into egg mixture, and mix well
  5. Spoon a ladleful onto pre-heated waffle maker
