and not mix waffles,
but whole wheat, from scratch, low fat, applesauce waffles...
and not until the first batch is out of the waffle maker do I realize that there is NO syrup in the house!
husband's solutions...eat waffles with jelly...so, yea that would have worked....
but I remembered in the recesses of my brain that I had a chocolate syrup recipe somewhere....
and now my kids are singing my praise...
maybe not out loud, but in their heads they are....I'm sure of it!
because mom let them have chocolate syrup on their waffles!
and bonus just omit the cocoa and you have vanilla syrup...
Homemade Chocolate Syrup
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/8 cup cocoa
1/2 can (6 oz) evaporated milk
1 Tbs vanilla
1/4 cup butter
In a heavy bottomed, tall pan, mix sugar and cocoa. Stir in milk and heat to a gentle boil, stirring. Add vanilla and butter, DO NOT STIR, let gently boil for 2-3 minutes. After butter melts, remove from heat and stir butter and vanilla in.
top your favorite waffle or pancake...or ice cream...
or just eat with a spoon...probably not recommended...but it is that good!
Homemade Vanilla Syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 can (6 oz) evaporated milk
1 Tbs vanilla
1/4 cup butter
In a heavy bottomed, tall pan, mix sugar and milk, heat to a gentle boil, stirring. Add vanilla and butter, DO NOT STIR, let gently boil for 2-3 minutes. After butter melts, remove from heat and stir butter and vanilla in.
one batch is more than enough for a few breakfast worth of waffles...
bonus...you can either double a batch or make a batch of each chocolate & vanilla from one can of evaporated milk...
double bonus...you can make this syrup twice a sweet by adding a cute little kitchen helper
you don't think his teacher minds that he had more than his share of vanilla syrup before school this morning...she hasn't called yet, so far so good!
