whole wheat waffles
via the faux martha
1 1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. sugar
1/3 c. unsalted butter
1 1/2 c. lukewarm milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp. orange juice, fresh
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Heat waffle iron on high heat.
Add the dry ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter, about 45 seconds. Add in milk and continue to cook for another minute.
Whisk in egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix. Tiny lumps may remain.
Add batter to heated waffle iron. I typically err on the side of adding less batter. Remove cooked waffle and place on a baking sheet without stacking. Stacking causes waffles to become limp due to the steam. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat.
Top with fruit and maple syrup.
note: the orange juice makes the whole wheat flour actually taste better so don't omit it unless you have to.
