Homemade Blueberry Waffles
When I was a youngster I used to wait up for my mom to get home every night. She worked the night shift and always came home late, but it was fine with me. In fact it was more than fine; I loved every moment of it. For the simple fact that we had our own nightly ritual, of making homemade blueberry waffles. I always found the process looked so complicating and confusing when I was younger, maybe that's what kept me in intrigued and in love with it. Now that I'm older though, I make them almost every morning for breakfast and sometimes I still continue our ritual at night. Once I learned the process for myself, it was a cinch. I don't know why it ever seemed so difficult! That's how my love of waffles, especially the blueberry kind, came to be. So if you think homemade blueberry waffles is a pain to make, take it from a person who's been in your shoes before and discovered the real truth, because I once felt the same exact way. If you just follow these simple, quick, and easy instructions, then you too can see just how easy it is for you too to be eating delicious homemade blueberry waffles, even at night!
I believe waffles to be the most scrumptious of breakfast items, and an all-time favorite snack! I mean it’s like a pancake with a built in syrup trap! Can’t ask for much better than that! Plus, unlike other breakfast items that are difficult, complicated, time consuming, and costly to make. Waffles are yet, simple, easy, and quick to prepare without any of the left over messes that others tend to leave behind. With just 8 simple ingredients and 8 simple steps who can deny the simplicity of making homemade blueberry waffles? No one, that’s who and the reason for this is, is because it only requires 5-10 minutes, a few choice ingredients and waffle iron. Simple as that, nothing else required. Nevertheless, in case you don’t believe me I’ll explain it to you.
Homemade blueberry waffles require 8 simple ingredients. Which include 2 cups of flower, 2 eggs, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 ½ cup of milk and of course 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries. By just adding these simple items in the right measurements of course, to a mixture of delicious waffle batter which requires no strenuous work besides slight stirring, pouring, and frying of all the ingredients together. Then you will surely be on your way to a simple, quick, and easy blueberry waffle.
Once you have everything out and ready, which means all 8 ingredients and the 4 cooking utensils that are the mixing bowl, mixing tool, measuring cup, and don’t forget the waffle iron itself, unless you might have some difficulty. So, after everything is prepared to go, effortlessly just add the 8 ingredients to the mixing bowl in the required measurements and whip everything together until the batter appears creamy without any clumps. While doing this I would recommend preheating your waffle iron, so it’s ready when you’re done mixing. Also make sure to grease the iron so the waffles don’t stick! Then it’s just as straightforward as adding the batter to the waffle iron, and watching the miracles work. Once the timer goes off, the waffle iron will be done and everything is ready and good for eating.
Finally, after all is said and done, and of course eaten to! All that’s left to do is clean up. Now that I’ve lost the majority of my readers, I will explain to the few that are left why you should not panic when it comes to the cleaning. The reason for this is because there’s no mess! The only thing your must do is wash and rinse 4 little cooking utensils, that’s it! Now, you’re probably thinking what about the waffle iron? Well, it’s simple. There’s no reason to clean it! In fact it’s the complete opposite, and I’ll tell you why! If you have ever used, had, or own stoneware then you would know that you can’t wash them, because it absorbs the flavor and seasoning you cook on it. Therefore if you washed it, it would taste like soap because it absorbs the flavor! The same goes for the waffle iron! As long as you cook on it and never wash it, the tastier the waffles will get! Though it may seem like the seasoning sometimes develop a slight odor to them don’t worry it goes away as soon as you heat it up again. Thus, all that is left to do is wipe the counters and wash & rinse 4 dishes.
In the end blueberry waffles are as easy to make as following those 8 simple steps and combining those 8 simple ingredients. After following those few steps you too are now able to enjoy your freshly cooked homemade blueberry waffles, with energy to spare! With fresh blueberry waffles insight, you now come to the realization of how easily it can be done! Store bought waffles are a thing of the past! No one in their right minds would choose store bought over homemade waffles, especially in lesser, quicker, and cleaner steps! I mean it'd be foolish to even consider it, with this knowledge at hand!
