How To Make Waffles from Scratch

Today I ran out of Bisquick and we had a craving for waffles, so what was I supposed to do?  Some would say run to the grocery store, but not me...I made them from scratch here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, butter, and vanilla. Next add the salt, flour, baking powder, and sugar.
2. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron.  Cook until golden brown.

This recipe made about 5-6 waffles.

Egg Salad Sandwiches

Me: "Jason, what do you want for lunch?"
Husband: "Umm, you know, an egg salad sandwich sounds pretty good."
Me: "...."

Yep, it's a first.  I have never made an egg salad sandwich.  Last week when I was in Bellevue, I had two bites of one and couldn't finish it.  It was riddled with overpowering onions and way too much mayo. Growing up we never ate them, so I really had nothing to go off of...

Me: "Umm, what is in an egg salad sandwich exactly?"
Husband: "Mayo, mustard, and eggs."
Me: "Oh..."

So I took off to the kitchen to try my hand at this feat.  I boiled 6 eggs until the yolks were hard and combined them with mustard and mayo.  It was missing something, or rather a lot of things.  It was just TOO plain..  So I fancied it up a bit...or rather a lot...

Egg Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 6 hard boiled eggs
• 1 cup Mayonaise
• teaspoon of dill weed
• teaspoon of garlic salt
• fresh ground pepper (to your liking)
• handful of dried onion flakes (approx. 1/8 cup)
• small squirt (about 1 tablespoon) yellow mustard
• Wheat bread

Directions:

1. In a bowl, gently mix all ingredients, then apply to bread.

Very difficult recipe...I know.  This recipe yields about 4-5 sandwiches, depending on how much egg salad you want on your bread.

Glad it's only taken me 27 years to accomplish this great task...
