This is the stand-by waffle recipe my mom made MANY, MANY, MANY times in my childhood. We had a nice family breakfast once or twice every week. This is my own little twist on them when we’re feeling like something different. I know it might sound odd, but just trust me. You’ll never look at plain waffles the same again! And if you want some plain, this recipe is great for that too. Just leave out the cheese. Sometimes I make a couple without cheese, then stir cheese into the remaining batter so there’s some of each. But these are definitely our favorites, and I think they might be yours too!
CHEDDAR WAFFLES
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup melted butter (or oil)
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (leave out for plain waffles)
Beat eggs till fluffy, then beat in remaining ingredients (except cheese, if using).
(If you’re in a hurry, don’t beat the eggs alone, just beat everything together-they’ll still be good)
Stir in cheese.
Pour batter into hot waffle iron, cooking according to manufacturer’s directions.
To keep warm, put on cookie sheet in warm oven.
Serve hot.
Variation: Add crumbled cooked bacon to batter along with cheese, or chopped ham.
