"Waffles of Insane Greatness"

This is another one of my mom's recipe's. She jokingly nicknamed them Waffles of Insane Greatness and they truly are INSANELY GREAT! No joke, I can guarantee that you will never taste waffles this good in your whole life! If you take the time to make this recipe once, you will adopt it as your own and never be able to stray!!! So, please, try them, once again...insanely great! Oh, and don't forget the Homemade Maple Syrup!

INSTRUCTIONS:

6 eggs, separated (Make sure you follow this important step- separating the eggs- so read carefully!)


Beat:

3 1/2 - 4 cups buttermilk

8 Tbsp melted butter

6 egg yolks

1 Tbsp vanilla


Add:

2 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 Tbsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

6 Tbsp sugar


Use the separated 6 egg whites- beat them into a meringue and fold them into the batter last. (A meringue is when the eggs form thick, puffy, white peaks.)


Then, just cook them in your buttered waffle iron. And ENJOY your heavenly breakfast!


I have been completely spoiled my entire life because my mom has never bought syrup from the store, she has only ever made it from scratch, and so I cannot stand the store bought kind, they are all so thick and you can taste the preservatives. Anyway, give this recipe a try and you will be converted for life, and it is so easy. Plus, you can keep it in the fridge and warm it up for next time too!

MAPLE SYRUP:

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 1/4 cup water

2 tsp Mapeleine (you can usually find this in any store- it is in a little bottle near the vanilla)

3 Tbsp butter


Boil sugars and water for 5 minutes, make sure the sugar is dissolved and not grainy, and then add the Mapeleine and butter.
