Here's a recipe we enjoy for breakfast or light dinner.

Nutty Whole Grain Waffles


These are adapted from Cooking & Baking with Fresh Ground Flour...

1. The night before, mix:
1 c. whole wheat flour (I use white wheat flour, but regular red wheat will work)
2 1/2 c. rolled cereal grains*
2 c. milk
2 T. honey
Cover and let sit overnight.

2. In the morning, mix in:
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. orange juice (or apple juice)
1 egg, beaten

3. Sift over batter and whisk in:
2 t. baking powder**

4. Fold in:
1/2 - 1 c. chopped walnuts

5. Spread batter on waffle iron and bake until brown.

Serve with maple syrup and sour cream/plain yogurt, or other desired topping (I also like unsweetened applesauce).

The recipe makes 4-5 large waffles, and they are pretty filling. If doing them for dinner, I start the process in the morning, let it sit all day and then do steps 2-5 at dinner time.

*oats work fine... I prefer a rye/barley/wheat/oat mix, which you can buy at health food stores or roll yourself
**add this right before cooking, as baking powder becomes active when it gets wet

hey sis
do you think your friends would mind you bringing the Lost season with you to Germany so we can watch it?

Say, if I buy a waffle iron before you come, can you make these for us? :-) I think we can get everything for them here...although I'll have to do some research on where to get really good grain!
