Patriotic waffles as we remember our soldiers today!
As I type this, it is Sunday, Veteran’s Day 2012.
It’s a day to remember our veterans, those who have served so that we can be free.
I attended a wonderful Veteran’s Day ceremony on Friday at one of the schools I visited and I literally had goosebumps as the whole room pledged allegiance to the flag.
We often take our freedoms for granted, and I am grateful today for the opportunity to remember why we are free.
Thank you to all who serve and all who have served!
Since I’m posting a picture of our patriotic waffles, I will re-post a recipe for waffles that I posted a while back, too.
Enjoy them as you remember why we have the day off today!
All-American Waffles
serves 2-3
INGREDIENTS
1 egg, separated (put yolk in two quart bowl and white in small bowl.)
1 cup plus 2 TBL milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 TBL canola or vegetable oil ** I recently earned that you can substitute the same amount of nonfat plain yogurt for the oil!
1 cup plus 2 TBL flour
4 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
Separate the egg, putting egg white aside in small bowl.
In larger bowl, combine the egg yolk, milk, vanilla and oil. Blend together, by hand, with wire whisk.
Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to the liquid ingredients and blend with wire whisk. (There will probably be some lumps.)
Beat the egg white with electric mixer until stiff. Fold into the batter with wire whisk until just blended.
(Do not beat egg whites into batter, just fold in.)
When waffle iron is ready, drop batter into the four squares and use according to directions.
