Simple Fare, Fairly Simple

My mom picked me up a waffle iron the other day so my mind's been whirling with ideas. I'm not a big breakfast eater but I do like breakfast food and waffles are right up there on my list. I decided to tweak a recipe to include orange juice in the waffles AND the syrup. Oh my....what a delight! The hint of orange in the waffles was so fun but the syrup is what made the whole thing! A touch of cinnamon finished it off to perfection.

Orange Juice Waffles 
with Cinnamon Orange Syrup



2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
1  cup warm milk
½ cup orange juice
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter, orange juice and vanilla.

Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.

Ladle the batter into a preheated, greased waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp.

Serve immediately with Cinnamon Orange Syrup

Cinnamon Orange Syrup
