In the morning, we'll have WAFFLES!

Being a stay at home mom has it's perks.  Perks for Mom, but perks for the rest of the family as well.  Do you think my kids and husband got waffles on a weekday when I was working?  The answer is no.  I'm considering going back to work this fall so they better get their waffles while they can!

What you will need:  1 3/4 cup flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 eggs, 1 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, vanilla

Plug in your waffle iron before you start mixing the ingredients.  Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Create a well in the middle.  In a separate bowl slightly beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla.  Pour the wet ingredients in the 'well' and mix all together. I like to use a whisk, but a spoon or fork will work.  It's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy too.  Before pouring on the waffle iron spray it with cooking spray so the waffles don't stick.  Use a soup ladle; fill the bowl of the ladle with batter and pour into the middle of the waffle iron.  Before closing the lid, let it spread out and sit a bit; until it bubbles.  Close the lid and let the iron do it's magic.  I can't tell you exactly how many minutes to cook it. I just peek and see if the waffle is getting brown. Maybe 2-3 minutes.  Take out and top with your favorite toppings.

Note:  these can be made on weekdays or weekends!!!  Also great for dinner with sausages and eggs.
