# Waffles (CoA Style)
Source: Heather Hayden
**Ingredients:**
| Standard Recipe (~6 Waffles) | Half Recipe (~3 Waffles) | Double Recipe (~12 Waffles) |
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1-3/4 cups milk 2 eggs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil | 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1/8 tsp salt 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk 1 egg 1 tbsp vegetable oil | 4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoon baking powder 2 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 1/2 cups milk 4 eggs 4 tablespoons vegetable oil |
**Instructions:**
Preheat the waffle maker; Before it is hot, grease with cooking spray or oil if necessary.
In a large bowl: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a smaller bowl or measuring cup: Whisk milk, eggs, and oil.
Whisk milk mixture into dry ingredients just until dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened.
Pour ~1 cup batter onto the center of the bottom grid. Close top and flip waffle maker. Bake until brown, about 4 minutes. *(Or follow your waffle maker’s instructions; they may vary.)*
For best results, serve waffles *Immediately*. They will lose their crisp within 5-8 minutes.
Waffles can be served with any or all of the following:
- Maple Syrup (best when heated slightly on the stovetop)
- Butter (best when softened)
- Whipped Cream (best when house-made just prior)
- Ice Cream (suggested plain vanilla or chocolate, or a special pairing for special waffles)
- Fresh Berries (raspberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries, or blueberries)
Recipe Modifications:
***Buttermilk:*** *Substitute 1:1 buttermilk for milk*
***Lemon poppyseed:*** *add lemon extract to taste and 1 tsp of poppyseeds*
***Orange cranberry****: add orange extract to taste and dried cranberries*
***Banana chocolate chip****: add one mashed banana and chocolate chips (You can decrease or omit oil; make sure you spray your waffle iron with cooking spray though; even in a non-stick iron, bananas tend to make waffles stick!)*
***Cinnamon pecan****: add cinnamon to taste and chopped pecans*
***Blueberry****: add blueberries (Not advised: blueberry waffles will* *always* *stick to the pan)*
