Breakfast for Dinner or anytime on the GRILL!

If you are like me you may like experimenting in the kitchen and at this time of year that includes on the grill too!
Sometimes you want to have some fun cooking up breakfast, lunch or dinner and if you have a family like mine that loves breakfast than this is for you. You can grill this up in your backyard grill or take it to the campsite for a fun family meal.

Waffles for Bacon and Cheese Grill Sandwich

Enjoy waffles for a weekend brunch or light dinner. Waffles can be the backdrop for so many tasty meals, give it a try. If you are taking this to the campsite this weekend be sure to make your waffles ahead and freeze them for later!

1-1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour  

1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar  

2 1/2 tsp (12 mL) baking powder   

1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt    

3 eggs, separated  

1-1/4 cups (300 mL) milk 

1/4 cup (60 mL) butter, melted and cooled 

In bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk and butter. Pour over flour mixture and whisk until smooth.

In clean bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold one quarter into batter; fold in remaining whites.

Heat waffle iron. For each waffle brush lightly with oil; pour in about ½ cup (125 mL) of the batter. Close lid and cook for about 4 minutes or until steam stops and waffle is crisp and golden. (This time and amount will vary depending on your waffle iron) 

Makes about 10 waffles (depending on waffle iron size).
