Good Morning Monday {blueberry waffles}
Good morning creative people! Oh…I think I need a vacation from our vacation! The long 4th of July weekend here was great and filled with lots of activities with the little one. Pony rides, tea cup rides, summer rain(which led to a couple of naps), rainbows, lemonade, fireworks, popscicles, dollar movies, and laughter. What more could we ask for. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
So, almost every weekend I fix homemade waffles…usually on Saturdays, so I thought I would share one of the most fabulous waffle recipes that I have prepared thus far. They come out fluffy, light, and soft, and not too sweet, and tastes divine with fresh blueberries(my favorite…pictured above), pecans, or baked apples. And while the recipe calls for buttermilk, you can hardly taste it as with many recipes you can (which I hate). You should definitely give it a try. All you need is an inexpensive waffle maker. The one that we have is a small Cuisine Art. Ok, so here is the recipe. If you are vegan the you might try it with almond milk, egg replacers, and vegan margarine…I have not tried this way yet, but I would assume that they may not come out as fluffy but the taste might be just as good!
Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles
Ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
2 C. Buttermilk
1 Stick of Butter or Margarine, melted
2 C. Flour (I use all purpose unbleached or bread flour)
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 C. Sugar
Directions:
Separate your eggs and place the yolk into your mixing bowl and the egg whites in a smaller bowl. Beat the egg whites until it becomes a bit stiff/frothy(about 3 minutes or so). It should NOT peak but should be frothy. Beat egg yolks in mixer, add buttermilk, then add your melted butter and mix for about 2-3 minutes. In the following order with your mixer going, gently add: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well for about 3-5 minutes. Lastly, pour in your egg whites and mix for about 1 minute.
Use a 1/2 measuring cup and ladle your batter into your hot waffle iron on the setting you desire. We like our waffles light, so I keep it at setting 1. Serve with tea, fresh fruit, pecans, and maple syrup or honey…Enjoy!
Ok, off to a fun week of creative and inspirational posts! YAY. Happy Monday & have a wonderful week everybody!

Waffles on a weekend are the best. Although I’d love to have time to whip up a batch on my workdays as well. They’d definitely give a bounce to your step, don’t you think?
