Christmas is a day to go all out, from the moment you wake up and start opening presents! Set aside the cereal and toast for the morning and get creative with your breakfast options. Christmas Tree Waffles are just the thing!
Christmas Tree Waffles – You’ll need:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1 heaped tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
Separate eggs, placing whites in a small mixing bowl and yolks in a large mixing bowl. Beat whites until soft peaks form. In the bowl with the yolks, add the milk and oil and mix well. Add flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder and mix just until incorporated and most lumps are out. Fold in egg whites to incorporate. If you want green waffles for your Christmas tree, add some green food dye. Cook waffles in waffle iron, using about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle.
When waffles are done, separate into triangles and lay them in a single line on a plate, laying the point of each new quarter over the bottom of the previous one. Use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut a star out of an apple, and decorate your tree with fresh berries. Create the tree stalk with a rasher of bacon and serve!
