Grampy Geoff Havens's Whole-Wheat Waffles


This recepie was taken from Martha Stewart's website. A few changes were made, but not enough to take complete credit for the recepie.
Ingredients

Makes about 12 waffles.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon plus pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons honey
5 large eggs
2 cups milk, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon molasses (or Maple Syrup)
Nonstick cooking spray, for waffle iron
Pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Blueberries, for serving (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat waffle iron. Sift together both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg three times; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil and honey. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, and molasses; whisk well to combine. Add flour mixture and stir to combine; mixture should be easily pourable, but not too thick. If mixture seems too thick, add a little more milk.

3. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup batter into each square. Cook until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully remove waffle from iron and repeat process with remaining batter. Serve immediately.

Forward

This will be an experiment in cooking by David and I. Since I'm the pickey eater in the household, and the techy, I'll most likely be the one that is posting here. We will try to take pictures of the dishes once finished with a list of good sides. If there is a difficult step to explain, then we will try to post pictures to explain. I might try and organize this later, but don't count on it.....lol
