Waffles

This is my late grandmother's recipe -- she's labeled it as "low-carb, high-protein," which it certainly is. Don't be put off by the cottage cheese and wheat germ; these are delicious.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour (white or whole wheat)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (NOTE: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ALMOND MILK. IT IS NOT REAL MILK. IT WILL MESS UP YOUR WAFFLES)
  • wheat germ (optional, and as much as you want)
Combine these all in a blender or kitchen aid or whatever you use to blend things quickly. You probably could use just a spoon, but I make no promises about consistency.
Ladle the batter into a waffle iron. Eat them once they're done.

Thoughts: Awesome. The flavor of these is hard to describe but totally delicious. We messed up a bunch of these the first time we made them, but only because I have no idea how to work a waffle iron. SO. But they're flawless once you know what you're doing. Also they're pretty healthy. My mother says they're a lot like the original, so that's good.

Disaster Index: 1/10
