Delicious Homemade Gourmet Waffles

This recipe is delicious, home made and frugal. Make a double batch because they are sure to be a crowd pleaser. Serve them up with fried ham slices and fresh fruit for a special breakfast.

1-3/4 c. all purpose flour
2 T. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1-3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. cooking oil (I use canola oil)
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp almond extract (the real extract, not artificial)

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Gently beat eggs in a separate bowl, then add milk, oil, extracts to egg mixture, stir lightly until combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir gently until lumps are about the size of tapioca. I use a wire whisk here, just don't over mix. Pour into a warmed up waffle iron. About 1/2 cup or so per 4 inch waffle. My waffle iron has two waffles together. I pour from the inside toward the outside of each square. Bon Apetit

You could even use organic ingredients to make these inexpensive organic waffles.

If you purchase all of these staple ingredients at a warehouse such as Costco or Sam's Club, your waffles will cost pennies a piece.

Consider storing flour and sugar in beautiful large glass jars to inspire the "baker" within. You can find jars like this at Target and Kroger stores.
