My kids love this homemade waffle recipe. Eggo waffles were the only waffles they knew, until recently. My mom gave me her waffle maker, so now my kids know what homemade waffles taste like. I also got a waffle maker as a gift, so we have 2 of them now. This waffle maker works really well and has gotten a lot of use lately. I don’t think we will be buying Eggo waffles anymore. My almost 5 year old ate one entire waffle by himself. I started him out with half a waffle and he scarfed that down in about a minute and asked for more.

One of the best things about these homemade waffles is they are freezer friendly. It will be awesome to have these in the freezer, ready to go on those busy mornings before school. Plus, I love the fact that I can feed my kids homemade food without having to do a ton of extra work in the morning.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sea salt, and cornstarch.
2. Separate eggs. Set aside egg whites. Mix together egg yolks, sour cream, whole milk, oil and vanilla.
3. Turn on waffle maker so that it can preheat.
4. Beat eggs whites and sugar together with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks.
5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. There will still be lumps. Then fold in the egg whites very gently.
6. Once combined, scoop 3/4 cup of batter onto your waffle maker, shut and cook for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, depending on your waffle maker. I know it’s tempting, but do not open the waffle maker until the 4 1/2 minutes is up. Serve with butter and pure maple syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Notes

To Freeze: Make the waffles as directed.  Let waffles sit on a cooling rack until completely cooled.  Place cooked waffles in a freezer bag, with parchment paper in between each waffle.  If you don’t think you will eat a whole waffle, you could cut waffles in half before freezing.

When ready to eat: Take a waffle out of the freezer, wrap in a paper towel and heat in the microwave on defrost setting for about a minute.  Then turn it over and heat on high for about 30 seconds or until warmed through.  If it is too soggy for your liking, cut in half and place in the toaster for about 20 seconds.
