Waffles Anyone?


Waffle House is celebrating it's 50th birthday. If you've never paid a visit to this Southern icon, you need to. It's one of those places that you have to go at least once in your lifetime. It's kind of like going to Disneyland, you have to be able to say that you've been at least once :).

Their namesake waffle is alone worth the visit - I always order my waffle crispy; once you butter and syrup it up, it's just right.

For just under $5 and some change my breakfast choice includes 2 REAL eggs, grits, toast, bacon, and a waffle. And it's served up fast and hot.

I tried the "real" Waffle House waffle recipe once from a site that now charges for recipes (and so shall remain nameless). I think I'd rather get the real deal at Waffle House.

Here's a recipe when you're in the mood for a leisurely breakfast at home:

Belgian Buttermilk Waffles
(Makes 3-4 Waffles)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, separated
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk, buttermilk, and melted butter. In another small bowl, beat egg white until peaks form. Slowly add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix. Fold egg whites into batter. Bake in preheated waffle maker for 3-5 minutes or until crisp and brown.
