Theme: E-N Breakfast Items
Dish: E for Eggo -- Wholewheat Waffles
My theme for this week's marathon is very interesting. Valli gave a list of breakfast items and asked us to cook dishes starting with the letters from E-N. Breakfast is probably the least thought out meal of the day in our household. I eat breakfast everyday, but it is something really quick: pb&j sandwich, oatmeal or just cereal. I usually make a little elaborate breakfast on the weekends, my son loves pancakes and waffles, so I make them at least 2~3 times a month.

Ingredients:
Wholewheat Flour - 1½cups
Baking powder - 2tsp
Salt - ½tsp
Sugar - 2tbsp
Egg - 1 large (or use a egg substitute, I use 1tbsp egg replacer whisked in 3tbsp water)
Lukewarm Milk - 1½cups (I use soy milk)
Vegetable Oil - 1/3cup (or use melted butter)
Method:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine milk, egg and oil.
- Add the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Set aside for 15~20 minutes.
- Preheat the waffle iron and follow the manufacturers instructions to make waffles.
- I put ~1cup of batter in my waffle iron and bake for about 3½~4 minutes. Remove onto a wire rack and serve with maple syrup and fruit.
