These are the best waffles you’ll ever eat*
* your mileage may vary, no guarantee implied. But they are really REALLY good

I got the original form of the recipe from The Woman’s Companion Cook Book, then one night I didn’t realize we were low on eggs. But I knew you could substitute apple sauce, which we had. And they were AMAZING. So that’s the recipe you’re getting here.
Yes, you can also make them into pancakes, but waffles are better.
Makes about 12 waffles or a shit load of pancakes
Ingredients:
Dry:
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulate sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
Wet:
- 3 cups milk
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 of a cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Canola oil (or similar neutral tasting oil)
Mix all the dry ingredients well, then add the wet ingredients. The batter will be a bit lumpy. Make into waffles (or pancakes, if you’re a heathen)
They’re so good you don’t even need to add any topping (I prefer brown sugar)
You can freeze these. Just put a bunch of them into a large ziploc, no paper between them necessary. Heat in the toaster. I have no idea how long they last, because I always eat them within a week.
They’re not super filling, so eat with something else (some juice and a handful of nuts would probably make a pretty good breakfast. I usually have one waffle and then some cereal and berries)
