150 BEST WAFFLE MAKER RECIPES! cover

Synopsis: 

To say that that waffles are enjoying a moment is an understatement. The Waffle House sells 145 waffles per minute — 877 million waffles and counting since they opened — and almost 10% of North Americans eat waffles at least once a week. 

But the really hot trend in waffles is taking the experience beyond breakfast to create savory sandwich-style meals. If the lineups outside waffles-only restaurants are any indication, waffles are here to stay. Bestselling authors Marilyn and Jennifer have created 150 delightfully delicious and inspired waffle recipes, from delectable breakfast and brunch options to snacks, burgers and sandwiches to tantalizing desserts and treats. 


  Review: 

 This book takes the novice wafflemaker from the very beginning- with what you need to know before buying a waffle maker based on what you want to DO with it and then what accessories you will need. From their, it's a look at the basics and basic waffle recipe, to even making gluten-free waffle! But the big part of this book is the 'what else?" can you do with your waffle iron! By using your waffle iron to “grill” or cook, you can make everything from omelets, to crab cakes, pzzas, and even cookies! In fact, your waffle maker might just make your get rid of your panini maker, and stick with just it! All the recipes are VERY simple, and most include things everyone has at home already! I do wish there were more pictures, but I am impressed with the amoutn of vegan and gluten-free option included in the book!

It's a great book for the new cook, especially teens and coeds, who can safely use a wafflemaker just about anywhere, and make healthy fun snacks and meals! Also fun for fighting the Summer "I'm Boreds!". And it would be a great wedding present accompanied, with a waffle maker and accessories in a smart kitchen basket! We highy recommend it!

Waking up in the morning is so much better when the smell of warm cinnamon and brown sugar is wafting through the air. Baking cinnamon rolls in the oven can seem to take an eternity, but when you waffle them, they are ready in about 3 minutes. The dough needs an hour to rise, though, so if you are in a hurry, prepare it the night before.

Morning Waffled Cinnamon Rolls
Makes 20 rolls



Tips:
- The dough can be prepared through step 3 and refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.

- If the sugar mixture gets messy in the waffle iron as you cook the cinnamon rolls, carefully use a damp paper towel, or a moistened silicone pastry brush, to wipe out drips between batches, and prevent burnt sugar from sticking to the rolls.


Cinnamon Rolls ingredients:
All-purpose flour
1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed
1⁄4 cup butter, melted
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
Nonstick cooking spray

Icing ingredients
1⁄2 cup confectioners’(icing) sugar
1 1/4 tsp butter, softened 
1 brick-style cream cheese, softened 
1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract 
2 to 4 tsp of milk

Directions: 
1.  Rolls: Lightly flour work surface. Roll out dough into an 18- by 6-inch rectangle and brush with melted butter. 
2.  In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Evenly sprinkle over dough. 
3.  Starting at a long edge, roll dough into a log. Press seam to seal. With seam side down, cut roll into 20 pieces. Arrange rolls about 2 inches  apart on work surface and cover with a clean tea towel. Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 

4.  Preheat waffle maker.
5.  Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. In batches, arrange rolls in waffle maker, leaving at least 2 inches (5 cm) in between them. Gently close lid (do not squeeze) and cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown outside and edges no longer look wet. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining rolls, spraying waffle maker as necessary between batches. 

 6.  Icing: In a small bowl, using electric mixer, cream confectioners’ sugar, butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Stir in milk, 1 tsp at a time, until glaze is smooth and your desired thickness. 

7.  Serve warm cinnamon rolls drizzled with icing.
