The Baking Project: Home Made Waffles (Eaten In Bed On A Saturday Morning!)!)

Last week, Robby had forgotten that Parker Ann was spending the weekend with us.  He mentioned  wanting to eat breakfast in bed.  I suggested we table that to the following weekend...which was this past weekend.  I was looking forward to having that breakfast in bed and even mentioned it to Robby the night before.  He agreed that would be nice.  What I HADN'T planned on was ME having to make that breakfast in bed...

I mentioned being excited about our breakfast in bed morning when Robby suddenly turned things around by saying, "Yea...What are we gonna have?"  Hmmm...Guess that meant I was going to be cooking that breakfast (hmph!...).  I made my way to the kitchen and looked around a bit.  We had been out of town so much lately that we were out of quite a lot.  And search as I might, I just couldn't find the waffle mix.  I walked back to the bedroom and announced just that...to which my hubby told me that I would just have to make those waffles from scratch (ugh...).  "But I don't know HOW to do that; I don't have a recipe, I begged.  Well, nothing doing...I was going to have to make those waffles!  Lucky for me, he said since he knew a recipe right off the top of his head (naturally...).  So, I wrote the recipe down and headed back to the kitchen to make them before my Saturday morning show (The Pioneer Woman) came on.  Here's the recipe I used...

HOME MADE WAFFLES:

2 CUPS FLOUR
1 TSP BAKING POWDER
1/2 TSP BAKING SODA
1/2 TSP SALT
3 EGGS
ABOUT 3/4 CUP MILK
1/2 TSP VANILLA
1 TBSP OIL
* I ADDED CHOPPED PECANS ALSO*

                                       The first thing I did was get all of my ingredients out...

                         I decided to surprise Robby by adding some chopped pecans to my waffles!

                           Next, I turned my waffle maker on high and sprayed it with an oil spray.

                    Remember to set your timer for 4 minutes; that makes the PERFECT waffle!

                             Put a little butter and syrup on your waffles and then... YUMMY!

                                                    An empty plate is a HAPPY PLATE!

You should definitely try these waffles (preferably in bed on a Saturday morning...)...I think you will like them!  AND I got situated in bed with MY waffles just in time to watch The Pioneer Woman make some delicious looking Home Made Do-Nuts!  I guess I will have to try those soon for another breakfast in bed Saturday!

OH...Look what Robby found when he was in the refrigerator later that day...
