The Lesson of the Day
So a couple days ago I told you I was going to make the Sweet Potato Waffles for my Hubby. And make them I did, and they turned out fantastic…eventually. This is the first recipe from the food network that I have acutally followed; and the lesson I learned? Always make sure that you have all of the ingredients BEFORE you start cooking. Here I am, egg whites warming to room temperature, waffle iron heating, sweet potatoes mashed, and searching frantically for flour. We always have flour. Why don’t we have flour!?!? And brown sugar, and baking powder, who knew you needed baking powder. Well I would have if I would have read the recipe again, and more carefully… So I ran off to the store and thankfully found everything and got back in time to make a lovely breakfast.
As I said the waffles were wonderful, after a little trial and error that is. While the recipe calls for the waffles to cook for 5-7 minutes or so, I found that with my cheap plastic waffle iron, they really needed a bit more cooking time. And at least a couple minutes between waffles to heat up the iron again. Those that were only cooked for 7 minutes came out very heavy and … sweet-potato-ish. Not the best tasting things in the world. But once I got the hang of it, well the Little Dude ate 2, and he doesn’t eat 2 of anything healthy… So yay!!! All in all this is definately a recipe I will be doing again, hopefully after I’ve gotten a better waffle iron.
