I have always depended on good ole Aunt Jemima for my waffle batter. Do not get me wrong, Aunt Jemima knows her waffles. She has never disappointed me. But pre-made waffle mix is unnecessarily expensive, and as I prepare to move to Boston and begin my life in poverty as a middle school teacher, I knew I needed a more budget friendly option.
Before this morning, I had never attempted to make waffles from scratch, so I knew I needed to call in reinforcements. Enter: Martha Stewart. Girlfriend never steers me wrong. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these waffles were to make and how delicious they tasted. The waffles were perfectly light and fluffy and the flavor gave Aunt Jemima a run for her money. Costing a fraction of the pre-made mix, I think I have found my go-to waffle recipe.
