The littles lived their best life today.
Christmas Market with Daddy
The Beckley family tradition is to eat waffles and then open presents on Christmas Eve. But with #ADHDfamily, dinner needs to lead straight into winding down for bedtime. As such, once home from church we started the first of FaceTime Christmas. I can recommend Zombie Kids Evolution if you haven't found a gift yet for that special someone.
Once we wrapped up with Papa, I embarked on my most adventurous waffle off-road yet. Yes, it's possible to find gingerbread waffle recipes on the internet. However, none of these recipes include half-eaten versions of actual cookies.
Thus, I present to you - my adoring blog readers (and generous giver of gingerbread cookies) - a Paige Biggs' adaptation of this recipe.
Remixed Gingerbread Waffles
Ingredients:
- 170 g butter, melted
- 350 g gingerbread ground-up
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 Eggs, Large
- 12 oz whole milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrots, freshly grated
1. In a medium bowl melt the butter.
2. Whisk together the eggs and whole milk with the butter.
3. Food process the carrots, then stir into the wet batter.
4. Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat up. Once the waffle maker is preheated, scoop about 1/2 cup of batter onto the waffle sections. My waffle maker took five minutes per waffle.
5. Food process the gingerbread with the salt and baking powder.
6. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined. You don’t want to see any dry patches of flour.
7. I added 50 grams or so flour because it looked too runny. Maybe try a waffle first before adding more flour?
8. Transfer cooked waffles to a baking rack on a sheet tray and keep warm in a 200 degree oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
9. Serve with peanut butter, defrosted frozen fruit, and/or whip cream. Syrup is just too much for these.
10. Take a picture and send to me. Do you think I took a photo of the finished waffles? Nope, too busy snuggling this little person who insisted on sleeping in her new dress.
