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
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan. Heat to boiling and allow to simmer on low for about 10 minutes until thick and syrup-y. Serve warm with Orange Juice Waffles.
