I love making waffles with my kids in the morning. My 2 1/2 year old daughter, Remy, bakes with me all the time and she is really becoming quite comfortable in the kitchen. It is so fun - although it takes patience on my part :)
She gets all the ingredients out for me and even knows how to measure the dry ones almost all by herself. It's kinda crazy. Maybe this is because we bake something together almost every day. Anyway- we made waffles this morning and thought we'd share the recipe. I use the buttermilk waffle recipe from my trusy "Joy of Cooking" cookbook but add vanilla and use my homemade plain yogurt instead of buttermilk.
Makes about 5 big waffles in a standard waffle press.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
3 eggs
1 1/2 c buttermilk or plain yogurt (thinned with a little milk if its thick)
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp melted butter
To make:
Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients then add wet to dry. Mix only until dry ingredients are just moistened, then let it sit for a few minutes while your waffle maker heats. Use in a standard waffle maker as usual.
