Waffles

Today I wanted to make waffles to try out some of my new syrup that I found.  This is a simple recipe in fact I halved the recipe because I didn't need to make many waffles.

A few simple ingredients, milk, egg, butter and self rising flour.  I decided to use the self rising flour so I didn't have to add salt and baking powder.  You can use either.

It wanted the egg separated.  This is how I separate mine.  Make a small crack in the top.

Carefully pull out the shell to make an opening.

Let the white fall into a bowl.

It takes a minute or two.

Then drop the yolk in another bowl.

I beat the egg yolk

Added one cup of milk to the yolk.

Then add the milk mixture to the one cup of flour.

I whisk that together.

Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and mix.

Whisk the egg white until a little stiff.

Then fold the egg white into the batter.

Pour into a heated waffle iron.

Completed waffle with my new blackberry syrup.  I just wish I had a little whipped cream on top.
Half the recipe made three full waffles.
