Waffles vs Pancakes

Why choose? Simple recipe and preparation of Waffles and Pancakes. 

This episode we let Tytus do some of the videoing and Tyrone (dad) tries to quit saying "alright" during filming. Ezra will again make his appearance as the official taste tester. This episode was brought to you by The Hot Mess Kitchen Crew! and Spices by Sarah!

1 teaspoon salt 

1 cup milk (a little less for waffles) 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil

Things we noticed to work on next time:
Lighting (we see some sunlight bleach out some parts of the video)
Sound (sound can range up and down as we try to film at different lengths)

Small Bits And Favorites

Waffle Cornbread & Chili 

My wife made an excellent Turkey Chili with cornbread made in the waffle iron. We have often cooked many a weird things in the waffle iron (like a delicious montage of leftover tater-tots...Mmmm) BUT now there has been a cookbook and blog surfacing thru Facebook the last few months (or maybe more?)...WILL IT WAFFLE? -- Or check out some excellent post about waffling more food here SERIOUS EATS WAFFLING.

Waffles & Pancakes!

Classic Waffles Mix

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 tablespoons white sugar (or honey/other sweetener)

2 eggs

1-1/2 cups warm milk

1/3 cup butter, melted (or oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Pancakes, add another 1/2 cup of liquid.

This mix is extremely customizable! I used wheat flour, fresh blueberries, and some coconut milk as part of the liquid to make silver dollar pancakes for my boys the other morning.  I use an old GE Belgian waffle maker for waffles and a Cuisenart  griddle for the small pancakes.
