Spelt Waffles
In class last week we were making waffles. One of the waffles we made were spelt waffles. Spelt is a whole grain that has an almost nutty flavor. They were a big favorite in class that night. They work great for breakfast and brunch. They would also be a nice base for chicken and waffles. If you haven’t cooked with spelt flour before, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. While it is a whole grain, it has a lighter texture and flavor that whole wheat. Spelt is a close relative of wheat flour. It has a soft texture when baked making a great choice when you want a whole- grain product with a tender “white flour” texture to it.
Spelt Waffles
2 1/4 cups spelt flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup club soda – we used hard seltzer in class.
1/4 cup oil
Preheat your waffle iron. Mix the dry ingredients on a large bowl. Then whisk in all the wet ingredients until smooth. Scoop the batter onto the waffle iron and close. Cook for 2-5 minutes, than repeat. Make 12- 4 inch waffles.
Bacon Waffles for Dad
If you are looking for a special breakfast for Father’s Day, maybe dad would like some waffles. Even better, make him waffles with bacon inside them. Then serve your bacon waffles with extra bacon on the side!!!
For me, breakfast doesn’t get much better than waffles. Well, unless maybe you add bacon to the waffle batter.
Truth is, I don’t treat myself to waffles all that often, but if I am going to eat waffles, I go all out.
These are truly wonderful waffles. Light, crispy on the outside and studded with bacon. A drizzle of warm maple syrup and you are good to go.
So, if you are looking for a special treat for dad for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner or a snack… try these bacon waffles. You can thank me later.

Orange-Pecan Waffles
Orange Pecan Waffles
Was looking for something special for breakfast with a friend. Started with my basic vanilla waffle recipe and had some fun with it. I really enjoyed the combination of pecans with orange juice. Served them with warm maple syrup. There was one left over so I added it to Parker’s chicken for dinner. Yes, the dog got chicken and waffles for dinner!!! He was one happy dog.
Here is the recipe.
Orange Pecan Waffles
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 t. orange zest
2 eggs
1 cup orange juice
½ c. milk
½ c. melted butter
1 T. vanilla
¾ c. pecans. Note: Probably would have been better to chop them up a little. I just tossed them in the batter whole.
Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. Beat together remaining ingredients and add to dry ingredients mixing until smooth. Cook in a waffle iron until crisp.
