Waffles

These waffles are fabulous with fresh fruit!

  • 2 cups flour (all-purpose)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 Tbl. white sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbl. oil
  • 1 Tbl. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. cloves

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk, eggs, and oil. Mix well – a few lumps is okay. Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with additional oil. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. (Sprinkle on fresh fruit if desired). Cook until golden brown.

Orange Muffins

For the muffins:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • zest of 1 orange

For the glaze:

  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1-2 tsp. orange zest

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 16 wells of a muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, orange juice, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk together to blend. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Do not over mix. Fold in the orange zest with a spatula.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan 5-10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet (the baking sheet will control the mess when you glaze the muffins).

To make glaze, combine the three glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth, adding more juice if necessary to achieve your preferred consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins while they are still warm. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Store in an airtight container. These muffins will freeze well. Thaw at room temperature until ready to eat.

Cinnamon Glazed Scones

 

Scones:

  • 2 Cups flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 T. honey
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk*

Topping:

  • 1 egg white
  • 2-4 T. sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon**

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tsp. milk (enough to make a glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Whip together butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt, honey, egg yolk, and buttermilk. Add flour and mix JUST until combined. Do NOT over mix or they won’t be fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious! Form dough into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat out into a half-inch thick circle. Cut into about 8 equally-sized pieces. Transfer to a greased baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy and brush over the top of scones. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. In a separate bowl mix together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until glaze is desired consistency. Drizzle over scones after they bake.

 

*1/3 cup milk + 1/2 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar
** pumpkin pie spice works good also since it has cinnamon and other spices

Homemade Syrup

  • 1 Cup water
  • 1 Cup white sugar
  • 1 Cup brown sugar*
  • 1 T. maple or vanilla extract**

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a soft boil. Let simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve hot or warm. You can store in the fridge, just make sure to reheat before serving.

*If you’d like a thicker syrup, increase the brown sugar. You can use up to 2 cups brown sugar.

**If you use vanilla instead of maple, sprinkle about 1/2-1 teaspoon of cinnamon into your syrup.
