Isaiah Clark House, Brewster, Massachusetts
Bed & Breakfast on Cape Cod
Isaiah’s Favorite Crispy Waffles
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted buter
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until thick. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Continue beating mixture for two minutes. Combine dry ingredients, sift into egg mixture and beat well for 2 minutes. If necessary, add more milk. Batter should be the consistancy of pancake batter.
Brush melted butter over the ridges of a hot Belgian style waffle iron. Ladle the batter over the hot iron and bake according to iron manufacturers instructions (usually about two minutes).
Top with your favorite fresh berries or sliced fruit (strawberries, peaches, poached pears, apple with cinnamon, etc.) and whipped cream. Mr. Robben loves only Vermont maple sirup. Just before serving you can sprinkle waffle with powdered sugar.
The yield will be about 6 – 8 waffles, depending on size of waffle iron. (I have used leftovers for pancakes the next day and I added a little milk to make a thinner consistency.) They were wonderful!
Merry Christmas from Marge Robben and the Isaiah Clark House which we visited in the year 2000. I saved the recipe but didn’t make the waffles until Christmas 2011. I don’t know if the Isaiah Clarke House is still there, but its receipe for the greatest waffles and pancakes lives on………
