Whole Wheat Waffles

I have a great piece of paper with a bunch of typewritten whole wheat recipes on them.  In the top corner it says the name Pat Swoveland, so thanks Pat, wherever you are.  These waffles are good.

Whole Wheat Waffles
Pat Swoveland
2 c whole wheat flour
2 t baking powder
3/4 t salt
3 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c milk
1/4 c melted shortening (In used oil for lack of shortening)

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir to mix. 
Beat egg whites; set aside.
Beat egg yolks, add milk and shortening.  Add all at once to flour mixture and beat until dry ingredients are moistened.
Fold in egg whites, leaving little fluffs of them showing in batter.  Pour onto preheated waffle iron; bake until steaming stops or signal lights indicates waffle is baked.  Serve hot with butter or margarine and syrup, honey or apple butter.  Makes 6 (7 inch) waffles.

We liked these.  Jacob liked them more than me, but I think I was just disappointed they weren't sweet potato waffles.  I really enjoyed mine topped with (homemade) yogurt and a little syrup.  These would make for a hearty, filling breakfast, or a cheap, healthy dinner with a side of eggs.

She liked them, too.

    Also, will you crochet me a headband/ear warmer thing? I would pay cost+shipping.

  2. I'm also looking forward to the rest of the whole wheat recipes. I'll probably try the waffles eventually. I'm impressed you made homemade yogurt. I was thinking about trying it again, mostly for the kids' sake, because I just can't get into yogurt, but they love it.

  3. I'd like to talk to you about your yogurt making sometime.

    Does Brooke always eat with her feet on the table? Russell did that.

    I was thinking about waffles for breakfast on Saturday. Maybe we will try this recipe.

  4. Yes, Emily. We'll chat tomorrow if possible.

    And don't all get too excited. Jacob's other gift to me on Christmas was a Greek (and normal) yogurt maker. I didn't really do much.
