Friday Night Waffles.

I will not ever be a famous food blogger. Never ever. I make some good dishes, chronicle them occasionally on my humble little blog. But I have far too many disasters to make the food blogger thing work for me in the long run.

Today my stomach started clamoring for waffles. Specifically these beautiful cornmeal waffles posted over at The Kitchen Sink. I already had cornmeal waiting in my cupboard, and I set to making them when I got home with the buttermilk.

All I can say is...it was my first time making waffles. And I followed all the directions except for the vegetable oil. Could. not. use. six. tablespoons. The rest of the rules I followed. I sifted. I shook the buttermilk. I barely stirred the mixtures.

Fail #1 can be blamed on the waffle maker. It was not hot enough so the waffles looked like big beautiful puffs of dough. I gave Belle waffle fail #1.

Fail #2 was more my fault. I forgot to spray the waffle maker and it got s-t-u-c-k. I scraped it out and ate every bite because the flavor was so good. They were crunch waffle scraps.

There is a waffle missing in this photo story. I gave it to my roommate. It was as close to this perfect as I got tonight.

Here's waffle #4. It was a little on the soft side but delicious. A little bit of cherry almond butter and light syrup, and I ate every little bit on my plate.

Waffles are good. Breakfast for dinner is always good, even if my attempts at food fame are fails. I would still recommend the recipe from the Kitchen Sink, but I hope you have a super nice waffle maker. It might make all the difference in your waffle making.

  2. I am a fan of making uber amounts of extra waffles and then freezing them. Then its like home-made Eggos, but better because you didn't pay $3 for 8 of them!
