Storybook Waffles

Mike used to make what he called "Storybook Waffles" for the kids almost every weekend growing up. That's why it was such a treat to have him make them for his grandson this last weekend! They are fluffy and delicious, and the perfect special treat. 

Ingredients: 

3 eggs, separated 

2 tablespoons lavender sugar (Order HERE)

2 cups buttermilk 

1 1/2 cups flour

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

(If you sub milk for butter milk, replace your baking soda with 2 tsp baking powder instead.) 

Toppings:

Fresh strawberries

Fresh whipped cream 

Sprinkle of lavender sugar 

We always use this fun circus waffle iron. It makes breakfast just that much more of a celebration.

Directions: 
In a medium sized bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add sugar and beat 30 seconds longer, set aside. Beat egg yolks and milk together in a large bowl. Add flour, melted butter, salt and baking powder or soda, mix well. Gently fold the egg whites into the flour. Cook in a preheated waffle iron. Top with strawberries and cream and then enjoy!
