Easy Waffles

May 30, 2016 by Abby

No obscure ingredients here- just a simple recipe for quick, easy waffles that are fluffy, flavorful, and ready in a snap.

I’ve discovered the secret to crisp-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside waffles. It’s all in the cooking time, y’all. I used to make waffles and, as soon as they started to turn golden, I’d remove them from the waffle iron and call it good. But they were always limp and not at all what I knew great waffles should be.

So I let them cook longer, until the golden brown got darker and began to approach more brown than golden. They weren’t burnt, not by any stretch, but they were done. These waffles had that crispy exterior that one expects from superior waffles, along with a fluffy inside. That’s a good waffle.

That’s the cooking technique, but what about the recipe itself? I went through a few of those, too. Some were complicated, calling for yeast or white vinegar or egg whites. Those ingredients are fine, they just weren’t what I wanted in a recipe for easy waffles. When I found and made this one, I knew I’d found the last easy waffles recipe I’d ever need.

I made a few tweaks, like subbing whole wheat flour for some of the white. It gives the waffles a little more body and a little more depth of flavor. You could absolutely use all AP flour. Either way, you’ll end up with fool-proof, easy waffles that are ready in a snap. Perfect for weekend breakfasts or a quick weeknight meal.

Don’t have a waffle maker? We’ve owned- and been happy with- this inexpensive waffle iron for eight years. We recently bought my grandmother this rotating one for her birthday and she loves it.

bacon, egg, and cheese potato waffles

Bacon, egg, and cheese potato waffles are all your favorite breakfast flavor notes, packed into crunchy waffles that are perfect for any meal of the day.

Bacon, egg, and cheese potato waffles are all your favorite breakfast flavor notes, packed into crunchy waffles that are perfect for any meal of the day.

When I bought the hashbrowns to make this hashbrown crust breakfast pizza, I also bought another bag and tossed it in the freezer. They were on clearance, so I figured I’d find a use for the second one later.

I tossed around a few ideas in my head, but nothing really seemed to pique my interest. And then one day here was this recipe, right in my Pinterest feed, like a gift. I knew, with a few adjustments, these bacon, egg, and cheese potato waffles would be worthy of those extra hashbrowns.

As I was making them, J, who shares my love of all things brinner, came into the kitchen to investigate. Our exchange went something like this:

“Do these have potatoes?”
“Yup.”
“And eggs?”
“Yup.”
“And bacon and cheese?”
“Yup.”
“Wow. That’s all my favorite things.”

If those are your favorite things, too, this recipe needs a place of honor at your table sometime soon. [Read more…]
