Mama Kay always made the best waffles with homemade syrup. Hers were always the perfect texture and expertly cooked — so good! She also always made homemade syrup that was hot off the stove. The wheat germ is key. It’s not always easy to find, but a Whole Foods type place will have it.
Mama Kay’s Waffles
3 c. self-rising flour
2 t. baking power
1 c. wheat germ
1/2 t. salt
1 T. sugar
2 2/3 cup milk (may use half buttermilk)
3 eggs
2/3 c. oil
Put eggs, oil & milk in blender to become “foamy.” While foaming pour wet ingredients into blended dry ingredients. Get waffle iron HOT. Pour in batter.
Syrup: 3 c. sugar
1 1/2 cup water
Boil ten minutes, stirring, until “stringy.” Remove from heat. Stir in 1 T. maple flavoring.
