Waffles with 100% Freshly Milled Wheat
I LOVE waffles! And these are super delicious and good for you when you use freshly milled wheat.
Equipment
- 1 Waffle maker
Ingredients
- 3 cups freshly milled flour mill about 2 cups of wheat berries to produce about 3 cups of flour. see notes for wheat suggestions!
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup oil I suggest a mild oil like peanut oil
- 3-4 cups cultured buttermilk see video and notes about how much buttermilk to add
- 4 eggs large
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker or iron
- Mill your wheat into typical fine flour like you use for baking bread
- Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk together to make sure there are no lumps in the baking soda or baking powder.
- Add eggs and oil. Start mixing and gradually add in cultured buttermilk until the batter resembles typical pancake batter or slightly thicker cake batter. See video for visual instruction.
- Using whatever measurement your waffle maker/iron state to use, scoop batter onto waffle maker/iron and cook per manufacturer instructions to your desired "done" level.
- Remove when done and ENJOY!
Notes
Wheats to use: I prefer soft white wheat or hard white wheat. Spelt also works great along with hard red wheat and many other wheats can be used!
Remember when using freshly milled wheat, the amount of cultured buttermilk may vary from day to day depending on the weather and what wheat you have chosen to use. This is why I say to add it gradually so you don't add TOO much.
Batter can be made in advance and lasts about 2-3 days in fridge. Do know, a bit of grayish liquid will form at the top (similar to what you see on sourdough starters). This is fine so long as batter smells normal. When ready to use batter, just mix it all together OR pour off the grayish liquid off the top.
Waffles can probably be frozen once cooked and reheated as needed. I have personally never done this, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work. Just be sure to cool waffles completely before freezing!
