Wholly Waffles!!!








It began with love at first smell. Classy, I know...lol.

As my hubby and I were walking through the harbour in Downtown Victoria,
 the sweet scent of waffles caught my attention. We had walked by it many times, 
but this time we decided to try it. 
For $3, per 1/4 waffle, it was sweet love!!  
Ever since, I have been trying to recreate this awakening in my mouth, at home.
Today, I conquered!!!

What makes these waffles noticeably different?

1. They are made with yeast
2. It is of a dough, NOT a batter.
3. It contains *Beet Syrup* (or sugar) which caramelizes the waffle, on contact
 *asteric denotes the secret ingredients


Caramelized Waffles
1 pack of Yeast (equivalent to 2 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups milk
1/3 melt butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3 cups of flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 beet sugar (or beet syrup)


-Dissolve yeast and sugar, in the 1/2 cup of warm water (this proof's the yeast). 
-Let that sit for 10 mins.
-Meanwhile,  mix up the rest of the ingredients. Once mixed, add in yeast mixture. 
-Beat just until combined. 
-Pour 1/3 cup (depending on size of waffle iron) into waffle iron. 
-Set timer for 2 mins.
-Enjoy!


The yeast adds an unbelievaly delicious taste to the waffles. The beet sugar helps to caramalize them.

~TIP~  Continue making waffles, and freeze what you don't use.  You can either heat them up in a toaster or back on the Waffle Iron.
