Waffles

These waffles were... basic. I'll leave it at that.
Ingredients

• 1/2c white flour
  
• 1/2c wheat flour
  
• 1tsp baking soda
  
• a pinch of salt
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1c buttermilk (we used skim milk with a little lemon juice in it)
  

Mix the dry ingredients together. Crack the egg into the buttermilk and whisk lightly. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir. Put in waffle press. Try to get waffles out after a little while. Cry.

Thoughts: These waffles sucked. Some notes for next time: 1) add sugar to the batter. 2) check to make sure you have something to put on TOP of the waffles before you make them. 3) have a waffle iron that won't try to devour your waffles whole. One option to prevent stickage is to liberally oil the grids, but on my iron this takes a lot more oil than I want to think about. I've had success with recipes that have oil in the batter, which somehow prevents stickage as well as creates a nicer texture. The addition of sugar (to caramelize and improve the interior strength of the waffle) might also help prevent the iron from tearing the damn things in half when you try to remove them.

Disaster Index: 8/10 - I mean, I ate them. But it wasn't a good time. It was a bad time.
