Ryler's Amazing, Awesome Valentine's Day Surprise

 Ryler made Waffles for Lauren on Valentine's Day.  ♥♥♥

And re-folded some of the origami paper cranes leftover from the wedding reception into these...

Dad's Sunday Morning Special Deluxe 

Whole Wheat Waffles

Sift together:

1-1/4 c. white flour

1-1/4 c. whole wheat flour

4 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

2 T. sugar

In a separate bowl, combine:

2-1/2 c. milk 

(or use 1/2 c. powdered milk with 2-1/2 c. water)

1/2 c. oil

4 egg yolks

Add to dry ingredients.

Beat until stiff:

4 egg whites

Gently fold into batter.

Cook in a waffle iron. Serve topped with butter or peanut butter and homemade maple syrup.

(Or huckleberries and ice cream and syrup...) 

Homemade Maple Syrup

Stir together and bring to a boil:
1 c. water
1 c. sugar
Remove from heat, then add:
1/4 t. imitation maple flavoring

Our family likes a thinner syrup, but you can add up to another cup of sugar if you like it thick and sticky.

LOVE.

Lauren
