Super Easy Basic Waffles

Leave a comment

We bought a waffle maker yesterday. I couldn’t wait to cook some delicious waffles with it. My husband wanted Belgian waffles. So I found some recipes online and tried them. Yet, it was a big failure. Waffles I made tasted like strong baking soda flavor stuff. It’s not easy for me to quit, especially on cooking. I thought I should start with basic ones. And I found a wonder recipe online. Lucky me!

https://www.google.com.sg/amp/www.food.com/amp/recipe/basic-batter-waffles-110683

It’s super easy. No need to beat the egg white with electric mixer.

I just halved the batch.

Ingredients:

Egg 1

Milk 200g

Olive oil  1/6 cup

Flour 1 cup

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

Salt 1/4 tsp

Sugar 1 tsp

Vanilla 1/2 tsp
Preheat waffle maker first. And then prepare the batter.
1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a big bowl.

2. Mix egg with milk, oil and vanilla in another bowl.

3. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Don’t overmix. Stop when they just combine. It’s ok if there’s still flour bumps.

4. Pour batter over preheated waffle maker.

5. Serve with syrup and fruits you like. You can also add nuts or butter.

Salted Butter Spread For Bread

Leave a comment


My husband loves spreading salted butter on bread. Yet, today we only had unsalted butter in the fridge. So I made this spread by myself. It’s very easy to make.

Soften butter you need in a small bowl. Sprinkle some salt, a little mixed herbs and garlic powder. Then stir and blend them well.



It tastes great. My husband loves it more than salted butter. I saw his eyes light up when he had a bite of bread with this spread. 🙂
