Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
1 1⁄2 cups milk or buttermilk (plus more to thin the batter as needed)
1⁄4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups white whole wheat, all purpose, or whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup additional flour***
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
1 1⁄2 tsp salt
Optional garnishes:
butter; maple syrup; sautéed apples; fresh fruit
*** This can be made from 1⁄4 cup measurements of any of the following: rye, buckwheat, cornmeal, wheat germ, wheat bran, ground flaxseed, quinoa flour, or really any other flour you like.
Directions:
- Mix the eggs, milk/buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla together.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir to combine with a fork.
- For waffles, the batter should be on the thin side, so if it seems too thick to pour into your waffle iron easily, add more milk/buttermilk. For pancakes, thicker is better.
- Cook according to your waffle iron instructions.
