TRS has launched a wonderful monthly blog event called "Little Chefs in the Kitchen"! We are supposed to cook something simple and kid friendly which involves kids to participate in the culinary arts! Doesn't that sound wonderful?!:)I was not exactly thrilled at first!You see, I am very possessive of my kitchen but now I am glad to found out that he is great cook too!
Thank you sweet TRS, I credit this to you!!
Well,I thought why not LET my almost tween son to make Waffles for us all by himself on Saturday for breakfast instead of me doing most of the work! He happily did it too although it was VERY hard for me just stand around and watch him make a few "not so perfectly shaped" Waffles! But then,it is MY problem,isn't it? :D
He did make some great looking Waffles.They came out very well and tasty with all the gooey Chocolate oozing out of them! Here they are with Maple syrup:
How he made Waffles: Makes about 10
Take 1 cup Waffle mix (or 1 cup plain flour,1 tsp Baking pd,1/4 tsp salt), 2tbsp Hershey's Cocoa powder,1 tsp Vanilla essence, 1 Egg(optional),1 tbsp Brown sugar,2-3 tbsp Chocolate chips in a bowl and mix well with enough milk to make a thickish pourable batter.Must not be thin.
Heat a Belgian Waffle Iron until hot,spray lightly with no-stick oil.Pour a ladleful of batter into each until they are filled unlike my son's first two Waffles with holes but he learned very quickly with the other two!:D Close the waffle iron and cook until you don't see the steam coming out from the sides of the iron.
Open the Waffle iron's lid and lift all four of them onto a cooling rack.Repeat the same until all batter is done.
SERVE: with Butter Pecan Maple Syrup and a cold glass of Orange juice. You can add some fruits on top but with chocolate oozing out of those Waffles,you don't need anything else!:))
Enjoy the Chocolate chip Waffles!!
Thank you TJ for a wonderful breakfast! You have made me a very proud mommy to have a son who is a good cook as well!!:))
Hi Asha and TJ,
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking waffles! I bet my kids would love with all that chocolate, even if they are "big" now. Never too big for chocolate! ;)
Good going, TJ, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Linda,I will let TJ know.He did a good job!Chocolate is Chocolate indeed!:D
ReplyDeleteHope you could access to the link now,I fixed it yesterday,new Template problems!
About Cinnamon,you could toast it crisp ,cool and powder rather than soaking.I forgot to tell you yesterday!:)
Awesome entry...I like this blog of yours Ashaji..what a great idea!

Hi Trupti,I had great fun watching my son make Waffles,thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteI like this blog too,now I can participate in all these blog events.It's great fun!:)
Thanks for the cin. tip, Asha. I know about mixies and I'd love one, but oh, $200!? If I keep cooking Indian as I have this past year, I will probably invest in one. Right now I'm using a little kitchenmate grinder -- you can see it here. It's better than the coffee grinder I had -- but cin. still causes a bit of problem. Not a big deal, but will try the toasting first and see what that does :)
ReplyDeletethis is going on great .why didtn I got his idea yet to start a separate blog for all entries, I feel it must for me when now i think to blog once in a week with all entries :) .
ReplyDeletethis one is a neat idea -LCIK, I already told trupti , so many times :)). its fun for me to be a part of all of you when you all share your experience here , I think I will come up with some kids friendly recipe :) .
I love watching the pics too :)
thanks for sharing .
(p.s. - t tried your recipe of corn fritter for coffee's MBP, it turn out to be simply great, thanks for that too )

Hi:)
ReplyDeleteI am seeing the making of wafers for the first time in my life.
good day :):)
Happy republic day in advance :):)
Linda,I saw and love your KM grinder! A beauty and perfect for grinding.It's bigger than B&D coffee one's too.If you buy Indian grinder,best one is Sumeet.
ReplyDeleteAfter I replied to your comment,I thought about it and realized I always toast Cinnamon(Cassia Bark or Dalchini),cloves,Cardamoms before powdering them.Better toasted, cooled and crisp than soaked.Hope it works for you!:)
Hi Pooja,I love this idea of blogging just for events too!:)
ReplyDeleteKids in Kitchen is a great idea.TJ loved it and Tr wants to do it next.T should have a theme like Appetizers this month,lunch items next, like that.It is fun.I am glad you are all doing these events.Enjoy the corn fritters!:))
Thank you Pooja!Hugs!
Love the R day theme Btw!I am thinking something colorful!!

Asha, that is one mean waffle that your son cooked up. Lucky you relax when your son takes over. I know I know it is hard when your kitchen is invaded but .....
ReplyDeletePat him on the back for me.

Asha,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to visit your Aroma blog from a couple of days. But somehow the link is not working.So,I did not get a chance to go thru your new posts. Tell your son that he did an awesome job with those waffles.
