Waffles

This is my favorite waffle recipe and I’ve used it for 26 years. They come out light and fluffy in my Belgian waffle iron. The secret is beating the egg whites and folding them in to the batter. Wish I had pictures but we eat them too quickly! ;-)

Waffles
1 3/4 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/4 t salt

Combine all together in mixing bowl

Beat in another bowl:

2 egg yolks
1 3/4 c milk
1/2 cooking oil

Add to dry ingredients, mix well to remove lumps (I use a whisk).

In separate bowl beat the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form (but do not overbeat until they are dry). GENTLY FOLD this into the batter, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.

Pour ~1 – 1/14 c batter into preheated and lightly greased (I use Pam) waffle iron and bake ~ 3 min 15 seconds.

Not sure how many this will make but our family triples this and everyone has 2-3 waffles, so maybe 10-14?

They are also YUMMY with powdered sugar, drizzled chocolate syrup and whipped cream for a youth group dessert!! ;-)

MIYM Muffin Mix

This is from the CHFWeb cookbook and is MARVELOUS!  Comments and suggestions are from the originator.

Muffin Mix:

8 c. all purpose flour (can substitute 1-2 cups with whole wheat)
3 c. sugar
3 T. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg (my family didn’t like the nutmeg as well, so I use 3 t. cinn. and 1 t. nutmeg)

Combine, place in large airtight container. Store in cool, dry place. Use within 6-8 months.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Muffins:
2-3/4 c. muffin mix
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk
1/2 c. melted butter or vegetable oil (I am currently using 1/4 c. butter and 1/4 c. applesauce, which cuts the fat in half but leaves them moist)

Combine egg, milk and oil in small bowl. Add all at once to mix. Stir until just moistened; batter should be lumpy. May fold in 1 c. dried fruit, diced peaches, blueberries, or 1/2 c. banana. Fill greased muffin pans (I use paper liners). Bake in oven preheated to 400 degrees, for 18- 20 minutes.

Our favorites are the classic blueberry (I use frozen, straight from the freezer), strawberry (I chop my frozen berries for this, it’s like little jam bursts according to my kids), apple, or plain with a cinnamon/sugar topping.

You can also put a crumb topping on these: mix some brown or white sugar with a little oatmeal and butter, sprinkle on top before baking.

I keep this mix in a plastic cannister in the cupboard, with the recipe written right on it. Even my 8 yo can make them for breakfast.

This is from the Make-A-Mix cookbook, one of the authors is Eliason. I got it from the library after someone on the Sonlight board raved about these muffins, but wasn’t as impressed with the other recipes! We’ve made hundreds, maybe even thousands, of these muffins!
