Waffles Wookie

I can eat waffles daily and make them often. Colphalon has a new iron that is a knock off of the All-Clad selling for hundreds less.

The Calphalon waffle iron has a chunky masculine feel with satin and shiny stainless blended with the petwer metal accents.

The Calphalon store upright with a locking handle and card stowage below. Totally automatic and nonstick its a breeze. I either make over night Yeasty Waffles or buttermilk with egg white folded in. Really the old Sunbeam with it's dramatic modern styling and small waffle humps makes more divots per square inch and more surface area exposed to the iron, giving the crunchiest waffle ever.

Here's my old Westy iron.. I've never used it though it works
I've a Sunbeam and a General Mills as well.. My nice GE I gave to mom last year to use for sandwich making and unfortunately she tried to clean the aluminum plates with oven cleaner and ruined those.. so now I have to find a replacement set,, bound to turn up eventually.

Reserve Supply

Even though you sometimes take a little ragging for it, I am glad you continue to collect. It would be astounding to see your entire collection catalogued and placed on display. I am glad you're willing to take the time to photograph and download the pictures. It is time consuming but so much fun for us to get to see it.
 
Favorite food treat of all time is Dad's Grilled Cheese sandwiches on Saturdays, speckled inside with real bacon shards & dunked in a Mustard Ketchup Horseradish 'dipping sauce'.
It was my job to watch the temperature dial for the optimum squashing moment.

Mom's Eaton's Department Store sandwich press (no waffle plates).

So, because of this thread I went googling for waffle recipes for this Sunday's morning treat. I have a jug of genuine local maple syrup that needs cracking open.

Now lets learn how to make waffles!

You will need:
- 2 cups of all purpose flour,
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder,
- some salt (1/2 teaspoon),
- 2 teaspoons of sugar,
- 2 cups of milk,
- 2 eggs,
- and one tablespoon full of melted butter.
(note - this recipe doesn't use yeast, the ingredients we mentioned at the beginning were just some general things you want to have at home if you want to make waffles regularly)

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them until they turn into white snow.

2. Mix all the milk, melted butter, sugar, and egg yolks into smaller bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Put all the dry ingredients (all purpose flour, baking powder, salt) into a bigger bowl and pour in the wet stuff. Mix until most of the batter is nice and even but leave some lumps that will tell you that you did not mix too much.

3. Gently mix egg whites into the batter.

4. You are finished, all you need to do is to bake your waffles. Just put one cup of batter in the preheated iron waffle and close it. It should take about 2 minutes, but check you waffle maker for specific instructions.

Sounds simple and Davy goof-proof enough. So, all you accomplished cooking guys...is it really this simple? Remember, I am culinary challenged and waffle ignorant.

Good pics Dave.. I don't have any extra plates for the Sunbeam but they'll turn up somewhere as always always happens. Keep your eye out for GE plates for me as well for my machine above.
 
This is a fun thread. I use a vintage Sunbeam waffle iron myself. Kelly would you be so kind to post those two recipes, they sound delicious. Thanks!
