Browned Butter Waffles

Mother's Day is a beautiful thing. I appreciate my dear Mom to no end. She put up with me and my brothers through thick and thin. She kept us looking presentable. She nurtured, and raised us up into fine adults. Now we have children, and as we wrangle them through life, we can't help but think of how much we gave our Mom a run for her money. And how our children return the favor, in a much more brilliant and graceful way. As each generation progresses and grows, Moms still have their work cut out for them. I'd like to share this browned butter waffle recipe in hopes that you make them for your Mothers. Moms need waffles and hugs. Always!


BROWNED BUTTER WAFFLES

Makes about 6 large waffles.

Preheat your waffle iron before beginning.

In a medium bowl, mix together:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 TBLS sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Beat in a separate bowl mix until light:
2 egg yolks

Add to the yolks: 
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
8 TBLS butter, melted and allowed to brown up until fragrant and golden

Combine the liquid and the dry ingredients with a few strokes- not fully mixing.

Beat until stiff but not dry:
2 egg whites

Fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to over mix.
Pour the waffle batter into the prepared waffle iron, in several batches, and cook until golden and crisp.

I like to top the waffles with roasted strawberries and honey- Greek yogurt. To roast strawberries: clean and de-stem strawberries. Toss with a light sprinkling of olive oil and browned sugar. Place on a baking sheet and roast at 425, until soft and lightly browned. Pile onto waffles. Gift to your Mother. Belly up!!
