These are usually reserved for Christmastime but anytime is a good time for strawberry and whipped cream smothered waffles. And don't forget the side of bacon!
1 c skim buttermilk + a little
1 c flour
dash of salt
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 Tbsp vanilla
1 egg or egg substitute
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix all ingredients lightly (a little on the lumpy side) and let sit for at least 20 mins before baking. Bake in waffle iron. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream (and bacon.)
Yield: 4 big waffles
Note: Granny usually quadruples or quintuples this recipe to feed all of us!

Father's Day Breakfast
Sorry, the pictures are not the best quality, but I was in a hurry!Just as an aside: Okay, I made the braid for dinner the other night -- except I'm not a barbecue chicken pizza fan, so I just used spaghetti sauce and some Italian chicken and mozzarella and parmesan cheese and it was delicious! So thanks for that.
Now . . . I'm pretty sure I sent this recipe to you all before because it was so awesome. I'm posting it again now, again, because it is so awesome. Definitely on the level of doughnuts -- in a "you'll probably want to make/eat this sparingly because of the calories" sort of way. I generally reserve them for special occasions. But, these are sooooo tasty, and easy (I actually think quicker than pancakes or waffles) and they look so fancy too!
We can all thank Giada for this treat that incorporates chocolate into breakfast. Yes please!

- Level:
- Easy
- Serves:
- 8 pastries
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 (9-inch-square) sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses, egg yolk, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
Cut each sheet of pastry into 4 equal-sized squares. Put 4 pastry squares on each prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 2 to 3 teaspoons of the filling into the center of each piece of pastry. Fold 1 corner of the pastry diagonally over the filling to within 1-inch of the opposite corner. Using a pastry brush, brush the folded-over section lightly with the beaten egg. Fold the opposite corner over the egg-brushed pastry to form an open-ended Danish. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
