• 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda.

Make Waffles with this Grandma’s Waffle and Pancake Mix

1. 2 cups “Grandma’s Waffle and Pancake Mix”
2. 2 cups milk / soy milk / rice milk / any fruit juice of your choice
3. 3 Tablespoons canola / vegetable oil
4. Place mix in large bowl, add oil.
5. Add I cup liquid and mix with a heavy spoon.
6. Gradually stir in remaining liquid, making sure there are no lumps.  Use a mixer at low speed if required.
7. Consistency is very slightly thinner than that of cake batter.
8. Follow waffle grill directions to cook waffles.

You can make 3 batches (4 waffle quarters per batch) in a standard size waffle grill—7-8” round.

Extra waffles can be frozen.  Place wax / parchment paper between each waffle, and place in an air tight container to freeze.

Frozen waffles can be thawed and heated in a toaster or toaster oven before serving.

Note: It is important to have a dedicated toaster for toasting all allergy free food. When using a toaster oven, make sure it is completely clean of all crumbs.  Use a washed and cleaned tray, or better still, have separate equipment for allergy free food.

Pancakes can be made with the same batter.

1. Lightly coat the pancake griddle with oil / cooking spray.  Wipe off excess with a paper towel.  Light and dark rings at the base of the pancake appear because of too much oil on the griddle or skillet.
2. Heat griddle / skillet on medium heat  To test for readiness, sprinkle a few drops of cold water on the hot surface.  If the water bounces and dances across the pan, it is ready to use.  If it sizzles and evaporates the pan is too hot.
3. For each pancake, use 1/4 cup batter onto prepared griddle.  Watch for bubbles to break on surface then turn the pancake over  Cook for a minute or less, or until bottom is golden.  Both sides should be a deep golden color.
4. Repeat with remaining batter.  (Makes about ten 4” pancakes)

Variations

• Add buttermilk instead of milk to batter.
• Add mashed bananas/ apple sauce and 1 1/2 cups or enough liquid for the desired consistency.
• Add blueberries, raspberries, cut strawberries, or any cut fruit of your choice.
