I've had
this recipe for simple waffles from Martha Stewart on my blog now for nearly two years. It was one of several waffle recipes that we enjoyed, but I never really had a go-to recipe. Recently, I had a craving for breakfast for lunch and decided to give these waffles another try. I loved them! Perhaps it's because the original recipe makes such a small batch (10 thin toaster-sized waffles) or maybe because the flavor is hearty and not too sweet, but I promptly mixed up several bags of mixes using this recipe for my pantry. Though it was handy not to have to whip up a ton of waffles for a quick lunch for my older son and I, for breakfast for a family of (even though one little is just starting solids), the quantity just isn't enough to feed us. Plus, that's a lot of butter in the original recipe. Thus, here's a tasty and somewhat healthier version perfect for family weekend breakfasts.
