I know most of us don’t need a recipe for waffles, because we just pop them out of the freezer, and into the toaster. Or, we’ll measure a cup of powder, and add water. I’ve always wanted to make my pancakes and waffles from scratch but I always use Aunt Jemima. After culinary school, I’ve learned that even though it says “just add water”, I should always use milk, and add an egg or two (depending on the amount of batter I’m making). I took it an extra step and add cinnamon and vanilla extract too, fancy. Today we have an easy recipe for waffles from scratch. You could also make the syrup (used for caramelizing the bananas) with just brown sugar and butter, just in case you don’t have any corn syrup handy [I’m also not opposed to adding a little brandy either]. This recipe comes from the new Party book I just got, and this is suggested for a brunch party. ENJOY!
Yields 12 waffles
1¼ C all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp super fine sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 c milk
3 oz butter, melted
For bananas
3/12 oz butter, cut into pieces
3 tbsp corn syrup
3 large ripe bananas, peeled and thickly sliced
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Whisk the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter together with a fork, then stir this mixture into the dry ingredients to make a smooth batter.
2. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a clean glass bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter mixture. Spoon 2 large tablespoons of the batter into a preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. To make the caramelized bananas, melt the butter with the corn syrup in a pan over low heat and stir until combined. Let simmer for a few minutes until the caramel thickens and darkens slightly. Add the bananas and mix gently to coat. Pour over the warm waffles and serve at once.
