  Ever since I bought my waffle iron a few months ago I have often wondered what else I could make on a waffle iron.  I saw waffle french toast on The Early Show on CBS it was a segment about breakfast classics with a new spin.  You can imagine my excitement!  I said I much try this!  So today was the day to have waffle french toast and I loved it!  Tyler and Kameron enjoyed breakfast, Alyssa….well she doesn’t like change, she was a little upset that it wasn’t a true waffle and she was mad because it wasn’t traditional french toast but she ate it anyway with snow…powdered sugar!  Shaun was at work so he didn’t get to have any.  I didn’t use the recipe that was on The Early Show only used the cooking method.  Also on The Early Show was flavored butter even though I did not make it I wanted to share with you because the recipes sound really good.  I would have made the butter but I didn’t have any jam or preserves.  The recipes for the butter is below the french toast recipe.   If you try it let me know I would love to know how it taste.  Enjoy your breakfast!

  Waffle French Toast
  6 large eggs
  1 cup milk

  3.  Dip 1 bread slice into the egg mixture and soak, turning once, 30 seconds per side. Place the bread on the preheated waffle maker, close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Keep warm while cooking the remaining bread.
  4.  Serve the French toast warm with syrup.

  Good morning everyone!  My kids wanted waffles this morning so I thought this would be a great first post.  My family and I love waffles, we make them all the time.  During the week before school, on the weekends and sometimes for dinner!  Tyler (son) wanted pumpkin spice waffles and the rest of us wanted regular waffles.  Breakfast was good, just waffles and syrup!  The waffle iron I use isn’t fancy.  I bought it at Target for $20.00 it does the job.  Since I just started making waffles from scratch I have tried several different recipes.  The first recipe I found didn’t turn out very good at all, it was gross.  So by testing several different recipes I found this one on allrecipes.com and of course changed a few things.  They come out crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside just the way I like my waffles.  Enjoy!

  Ingredients
  2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  1 teaspoon of salt
  1 teaspoon of baking powder
  6 tablespoons of sugar
  2 eggs
  1/3 cup melted butter
  2 cups of milk
  1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

  For Tyler’s pumpkin spice waffles I add 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice to the last bit of batter. You can use less, he likes to be able to see the spice and really taste it!

  Directions
  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla and eggs to dry ingredients. Mix until well blended.
  4. Ladel batter the into preheated waffle iron.  Cook until nice and golden brown and a little crispy.

  Serve with your favorite fruit topping, syrup or as my daughter Alyssa likes them with snow (powered sugar).
