Waffle Breakfast

These waffles had a great classic flavor!  This recipe made 10 crispy waffles that were moist and fluffy on the inside.  These, topped with berry sauce, made for a wonderful breakfast! 
This recipe was posted by Megan on allrecipes.com. I didn't make any changes.  I just added a few things, but mostly the toppings!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature. Make sure to spray it with Pam or some sort of nonstick spray.  
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended. I used my kitchen aid here, but it can certainly be done by hand. 
3. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.  If you want to wait until you have a big enough batch to serve the whole table, put the cooked waffles in the oven at about 200 degrees.  This will keep them warm, but the longer they are in there, the more soggy they get, so don't delay too long.  You can always break the first couple into quarters so everyone can eat while more are cooking and the waffles are crispy!

4.  While each of the waffles is cooking, work on some of the side dishes and toppings.  I would recommend making the berry sauce from yesterday.  Fresh fruit is always a nice addition.  It not only gives you your daily vitamins, but gives you a feeling of eating fresh, healthy ingredients.  I slices up oranges, and bananas, and had fresh raspberries on the berry sauce.  I also served, butter, powdered sugar and syrup.   Coffee and orange are served as drinks, and the occasional mimosa isn't bad either!

5.  Meat is certainly not necessary in this meal, but you could always add sausage or bacon as a side. Happy Sunday!
