Shortly after picking up the waffle maker, we decided to throw a little waffle brunch party with a few friends. We asked for some recipes and got a few responses from our fellow waffle-loving foodies. We were originally going to make three types of waffles, but after realizing how many waffles we could get out of one batch, we decided to only make two: standard buttermilk and vegan chocolate. The photo above is of e's suggestion of using the Alton Brown waffle recipe. It was the first time either of us had made waffles so the first batch weren't perfect squares, but they look nice, eh? They also tasted excellent. [...] [...] As we mentioned before, we won a Krups waffle maker from one of our favorite stores in all of Philly, Foster's Urban Homeware.

We tried two of the three banana-free waffle recipes from the Vegan With a Vengeance cookbook - Ginger Pear and Lemon Corn with Blueberry Sauce - using that very same lovely waffle iron (which belongs to someone else). The batter is pretty quick to make and variety is fun so we made half-recipes of both, and they were both tasty, but I can't really strongly recommend them because the waffles came out much floppier than we expected (which might be the fault of the inexperienced waffle-makers rather than the recipes). Yay for winning things!

They have a higher sugar and fat ratio than say, pancake batter, to ensure cripsy brown outsides and light airy insides: 4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup 4 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1 cup 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 3 whole eggs, beaten 2 ounces unsalted butter, melted 16 ounces buttermilk, room temperature Vegetable spray, for waffle iron Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl beat together eggs and melted butter, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
