Essie's Fresh Homemade Orange Waffles.

Breakfast is served! Fresh homemade Orange waffles from my Kitchen.  

Waffles:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons granulated white sugar

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1 cup  milk, at room temperature

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

1tbs orange zest

In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients i.e. flour, baking powder, salt, zest and sugar. In another bowl whisk together the wet ingredients i.e.  egg, vanilla extract, orange juice and milk. Add the wet ingredients  to the dry ingredients , along with the melted butter, and stir (or whisk) just until combined.

Preheat your waffle machine. Spoon or pour about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter  onto one side of the hot waffle iron. Take the back of a spoon, and smooth out the batter. Close the lid of your waffle machine, turn it  and bake until brown and crisp (about 3-5 minutes). It is best to serve the waffles immediately. 

Garnish with butter and maple syrup or fresh berries, whipped cream, a small scoope of ice cream  or just plain powder sugar. 

Makes about 3 -4 waffles  and Preparation time is 15 minutes. 

Bon Appetite!
