Lemon Waffles

"Waffles are definitely a weekend breakfast treat - this recipe comes from Christine Cushing. Adding the softly whipped egg whites to the batter will make the waffles nice and fluffy. Serve with pure Canadian maple syrup, fresh berries & whipped cream or pair with blueberry sauce (#78222)...to use Christine's words...wicked! Prep time includes "standing", cook time & # of servings has been estimated - it depends on your waffle iron."

  1. My family really enjoys these waffles. The only problem is the 30 min. wait time. They aren't fond of that!!:) I too have forgotten the lemon and done the lemon juice but just isn't the same. Thanks for taking the time to post this recipe. Paddles.
     
  2. These were so good and pretty easy to make! I got started on the recipe and realized that I had forgotten to pick up a lemon at the store, so, I replaced some of the milk with lemon juice (1.5 cup milk, 3/4 cup juice). For serving, I buttered the waffles, drizzled Lemon Sauce (recipe #74942) over the top, and then drizzled maple syrup over that-it was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe, C.L.!
     
  3. This was very good although, I adapted it a little bit. I added the juice of the lemon as one other person suggested. I also decreased the eggs to 2 and substituted 1/4 C. whole wheat flour + 2 regular T of flour because I found it a little runny. In addition to that I added 3T sugar and placed blueberries over the batter before closing the waffle iron. Very, Very, Good!!!
     
  4. These are so good! My waffle iron makes 10 to 11 from this recipe so we have leftovers for breakfast during the week. We had them with maple syrup but can't wait to try them with fruit.
     
  5. YUM!!!.... These waffles are just melt-in-your-mouth tender! I used whole milk for these, and topped them with homemade blueberry sauce. We really enjoyed these, what a fantastic brunch! thank you Marg, I have tucked your recipe into my "favorites" cookbook....Kitten:)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
