WAFFLES - FOR BREAKFAST OR DINNER....

My Grandma always made "Maryland Waffles". I have no idea why she called them that and she's not here anymore to ask. But, they are the BEST homemade waffles EVER !!!! My kids LOVE pancakes and waffles, especially with chocolate chips. I've been buying frozen waffles at the grocery store for the kids since it makes a good breakfast for them. But, in my efforts to be more frugal I have come to realize that Grandma's Maryland Waffles are a lot healthier and cheaper.

So, this morning I made a double batch of homemade waffles - half with chocolate chips and half plain. I put them on cookie sheets in the freezer until cold and then into zipper freezer bags for the freezer. Now I can just take them out one at a time and toast them when needed! The chocolate chip ones will either be for the kids' breakfasts or for a waffle and ice cream sandwich for a special treat! The plain waffles will be used for chicken and waffles one night - its a great use of leftover chicken. Simply toast the waffle, put chicken over top with gravy - YUM!!!

Here's the recipe for Maryland Waffles:

2 c. flour

3 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

2 t. sugar

2 eggs, separated

1 3/4 c. milk

1/2 c. butter, melted

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter. Add egg yolks and milk, beat and

then add egg whites last.

ENJOY!!!
