Waffles

An easy and quick waffle recipe, sure to please everyone! I try and make batches to freeze; 20 will fit into a large ziplock (of the size that my waffle maker does them- yours may be different).

Ingredients:

2 eggs
3/4 cup of milk
2 tbsp oil
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until thick, add milk and oil. Add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the hot waffle plate. Cook following directions of your waffle iron. Yields 6 waffles on my iron.

Enjoy!
