Homemade Waffle Mix

Prep:

1. With a permanent marker, write on the outside of each bag the wet ingredients needed to turn the waffle mix into batter:1 ½ cups milk, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons butter
2. Flip the tops of the zip bags over to hold them open and make an assembly line with the bags. Each bag will make one batch of waffle batter.

Mix the dry ingredients:

1. Fill each bag with the amount of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt listed above. Mix the ingredients around with a spoon and zip to seal the bag. Filling all the bags with one ingredient before moving on to the next makes this a quick process.

Store:

1. Store the bags in the pantry for up to 6 months.

To make waffles:

1. Empty the pre-measured dry waffle mix into a large batter bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the milk, egg, and butter. With a fork, break up the egg first, and then mix the ingredients until all visible lumps are gone.
2. Heat the waffle maker first, and once hot, grease or spray it if necessary. Some non-stick waffles do not require greasing.
3. Ladle waffle batter into each cavity, close the waffle iron top and cook the waffles until they're golden on both sides and lift easily from the waffle maker. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter.
4. Serve the waffles topped with butter, syrup, and your favorite toppings.
