Sweet + Savory Waffles

I just love making waffles...they are so easy and you can make just about any flavor combination you fancy. My favorites: Chive + Cheddar and Chamomile + Mixed Berry. These waffles are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I like to serve savory waffles with a poached egg and of course, drizzle sweet waffles with warm maple syrup. I hope you like waffles because it's time for a waffle party!Sweet + Savory WafflesMakes about 5-6 wafflesIngredients1 3/4 cups organic all-purpose flour1 tablespoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 3/4 cups organic whole milk2 large organic eggs1/2 cup organic melted unsalted butter, cooled slightlyAdd-ins:1 teaspoon organic chives, chopped1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese1 1/2 teaspoons organic, dried chamomile1 1/2 tablespoons organic sugarAbout 1 cup organic berries (I used blackberries and raspberries)Directions:Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork. Mix until just combined. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your waffle iron (I used the Waring Belgian Waffle Maker). Cover about 3/4 of the surface of your waffle iron with batter. Add your additional ingredients immediately (if you are making sweet waffles, add about 1/2 teaspoon chamomile and 1/2 tablespoon sugar...for savory, add a pinch of chopped chives and a heaping tablespoon of grated cheddar). Bake to your liking...I typically wait until the waffle iron has ceased steaming. Serve immediately. Top the savory waffles with a poached egg and the sweet with calendula butter, fresh berries, and warm maple syrup.Use the base of this recipe for any flavor combination you'd like. Simply add the ingredients to the batter in the waffle iron...Photography + Recipe by Cassie Winslow
