Waffles Even Chris Loves!

My dear husband loathes waffles....seriously, isn't that a crime in most states!?!? In 20 years, I have tried every waffle recipe out there with no success in getting Chris to like them...until, I tweaked the following recipe...totally took Chris by surprise...me too!

2 cups Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake & Waffle Mix
2 1/4 cups water
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

***warm maple syrup and small bowl of melted butter for serving

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs and water together. Add vanilla. Add all dry ingredients and blend well. Stir in melted butter and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Once all your sleepyheads are awake and ready for breakfast, spray waffle iron with PAM and preheat. When ready, pour scant 1/2 cup of batter into wells and close. Bake according to your waffle irons instructions.

Serve with a drizzle of melted butter and plenty of maple syrup...Even waffle hating husbands will ask for seconds!

*** The 1/2 cup batter is per my irons instructions....if you have a larger or Belgian maker follow the guidelines for it.

*** You may be asking yourself...melted butter, really Roxanne? Yes, melted butter! It is much easier to drizzle over your waffles and you actually end up using less butter. Warm Maple syrup is also a must in my house. I stick the jar (with the lid removed) in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
