Waffles

We love waffles around here. We thought we had to give them up, because traditional recipes were very high in sodium. Not anymore! Thanks to the 500 Low Sodium Recipes book.

1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Sodium Free Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon of Sugar
1 Egg
3/4 Cup of Milk (the recipe says Skim, but I use 2%)
1 Tablespoon of Unsalted Butter, Melted
Any add in you desire (blueberries, chocolate chips, etc)

Mix together dry ingredients. 
Combine egg, milk, and melted butter. 
Add to dry ingredients.
Mix until just blended. Do not overbeat.
Bake according to waffle iron directions.

Yields 2 Servings. I usually double the recipe so we have leftovers. 

Each serving as about 99 mg of Sodium! 

Notes:
Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. If they aren't your melted butter turns solid. 
I strongly suggest adding blueberries or the like to the batter. We had them plain and not even Knaebe's Cinnamon Apple Syrup could save them. 

Topping Ideas:
Butter (duh)
Powdered Sugar
Jams and Jellies
Syrup

The ingredients

The Flour, Baking Powder, and Sugar

The Milk, Eggs, and Melted Butter

Combine the "Wet Team" to the "Dry Team" and combine until just blended.

Add to the waffle iron.

Ta Da! I made chocolate chip this time around. The blueberry ones I made last week were really good as well.
