YUM - Waffles to go

I met Veronique quite  a while ago.  But, the story goes - I had cookies that could be cook in the waffle maker.

Yup, no eat from the oven during the week.  Veronique told me that she had a recipe that was much better.

Wow!  What great waffles.

So, for you who need waffles to go, early breakfast, or just snack.  Here you go, waffle that can be taken anywhere.

(Yes, I made these for my kids during early morning Seminary)

Belgium Waffles  - Veronique 

Separate 9 eggs, beat the whites until they are stiff

In another bowl, beat all the yokes plus 2 cups of sugar.

Beat until light in color.

Add 1 lb. Butter, softened

1/4 tsp salt 

4 cups flour

1 tsp of vanilla

Cook in a waffle iron.  Cook until brown.

They are really fragile while they are hot.  

When they are cool, they won’t crumb as easy.

Store in foil or tin box.

(There was never enough to store anywhere -  Thank Veronique)
