Today’s project was some delicious belgian waffles. mmm! I made them a little healthier than the recipe called for, but didn’t do any super low-fat, apple-sauce substitutions. I used the Joy of Cooking recipe, which is:

Preheat the waffle iron. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl:

• 1 3/4 cups flour (I used whole wheat)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Blend well in another bowl:

• 3 eggs (I used 2 eggs and 2 whites)
• 1/2 to 2 sticks butter (I used a half stick, melted in the microwave)
• 1 1/2 cup milk (I used nonfat)

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Combine with a few swift strokes of the whisk.

They came out amazingly well, thanks to a good waffle iron and some home-made maple syrup from a friend in upstate New York. Delish!
