My Favorite Waffle Mix

This is a bulk recipe. I have a large family PLUS I just don't want to get everything out and measure every time I want to make waffles. This is much more convenient. I went to the bakery at our local Sam's Club and asked if they had any empty 'icing' buckets that I could have. They gave me several, with lids, and this is how I store my bulk mixes. Works great! I label the outside with an index card so I know right away what's inside, and I also tape a card to the lid that has the recipe for the bulk mix and for the waffles themselves. Makes cooking breakfast so much easier.


My Favorite Waffle Mix

20 c. flour (5 lbs.)
20 T. sugar (1c. + 4T.)
10 T. Baking Powder (2/3 c.)
5 t. salt

Mix all ingredients together using a wire whisk and store in an airtight container.


My Favorite Waffles

4 1/2 c. mix
3 c. milk
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla
1 stick butter, melted (optional)

Measure dry mix into a bowl. Mix all other ingredients together and add to dry mix all at once. Stir with wire whisk just until well blended. Don't over mix.

I have a Belgian waffle maker the makes 4 waffles at a time. I cook these for about 6 minutes. You will probably have to adjust the time according to your own waffle maker. But usually 4-6 minutes will be fine.

This recipe was adapted from the book How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food by Mark Bittman... one of my favorites. I loved the recipe for waffles so much that I turned it into a bulk mix. These freeze very well so I often make extra just to keep in the freezer for the week ahead. Just microwave them to defrost and crisp them up in the toaster if you like.

Happy Cooking!
