Don't Waffle about your favorite recipe (Down a Sourdough Rabbit Hole #3)

I tried two different waffle recipes, One was using an overnight sponge and one was mixed 1/2 hour before making. The 1st time I made the overnight sponge recipe, I thought thye were really good but the the next few times, they were ok. I saw this quicker recipe without the overnight wait and gave it a try. I think I like the quicker version better. They seem to hold up better if sharing them and if eating over the next few days. This may already be a known idea, but reheating the waffles using the waffle iron the next day makes them turn out like you just made them.

I also experimented with some whipped butters. I made a maple with maple syrup, a raspberry with raspberry jam and a lemon with a bit of lemon juice and zest. The raspberry was the biggest hit.

Here are the two recipes I tried:

Overnight Sponge Waffles

And here is the 30 minute version

30 Minute Waffles

My opinion is that the overnight ones seems a bit lighter, but the 30 minute ones were tastier and easier. The 30 minute ones also made barely 8 waffles, probably more like 7 in a standard iron so I would double this one.

Add if you add the Mimosas then either recipe will work out just fine. I made mine with a Cava (or maybe I just had it sans the juice).

Enjoy!

Down a Sourdough Rabbit Hole (Sourdough Rabbit Hole Prologue)

When I first began my sourdough starter in March, I did not know quarantine sourdoughing was a thing. But I found myself home more like a lot of others and I had been wanting to try doing it and now I was home more to give it a try. Luckily, I had stocked up on flour as it got a little difficult to always count on being able to get it a few weeks in when everyone started stockpiling everything. I was not exempt from the food hoarding phenomena and while I did not go completely crazy, I did keep on hand many more things that I normally would. It certainly was disconcerting to find yourself at a grocery store with shelves completely cleared out of many items and rationing in place. It makes you realize just how spoiled you are being able to get what you want on a whim. So I started the process and now have been keeping it going for several months. While sometimes it does seem like a chore to feed it, I mostly find it very interesting to see it grow and use i...

Lemon Pie "Delicious"(Mom M Recipe #8)

Finally, I made a recipe from the box that someone actually remembered Mom making before. Mom would be what I called my grandmother not to be confused with my Mom. I don't know why but it was never confusing as to who I was referring to when I said it to me or to Mom and Mom. So this recipe is for lemon pie though the recipe for the pie crust and for the meringue was not actually included on the card so I had to do those on my own. The lemon custard was very sweet and did not set up like my grandmothers did. I would probably adjust the recipe if I made it aga...

4th of July Honey Drops (Mom M Recipe #5)

It has been a little hot for baking lately so there has been a little hiatus in trying recipes from the box. I got some great honey from the farmers market a couple of weeks ago and had been wondering what I was going to use it in. Then I saw this recipe in the box for Honey Drops. I don't recall having these before, but the recipe looks well used so they must have been made a time or two. The recipe makes a nice dough that is easy to roll into balls for baking. Though I was not sure that this was the prescribed method since this like many of the recipes listed only ingredients and no directions. But they baked up just right. You have to make the balls on the smaller side since you are putting them together in sandwich fashion. I suppose you could make a giant sandwich cookie, but I prefer the smaller size. Sin...
