comfort food

I have always found something strangely comforting in waffles and Breakfast Burritos.







Great Waffles - mum style

1 stick butter (4 oz.)
8 oz. pastry flour
1 oz. sugar
1/2 tsp. (.08 oz) salt
1 T. (.05 oz) baking powder
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk or 1 c. buttermilk / 1 c. sweet milk
1/4 fl. oz vanilla or 1 tsp

Note: If using buttermilk, reduce baking powder to 1 tsp (1/16 oz) and add 1 tsp (5 grams) baking soda instead. 2 cups milk = 12 oz aquatronic weight. If using liquid scale, switch to fl. oz.

In a batter bowl (one with a handle and a pouring spout) place one stick unsalted butter and melt in microwave until nearly melted. Cool, add soda (if using), baking powder, salt, egg yolks; stir.

Add flour and beat briefly with a hand mixer or whisk. Stir in vanilla.

Using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, gradually adding the sugar until soft, foamy stiff peaks form (not dry). Fold into batter and bake in waffle iron about 4 minutes or until steaming stops and waffles are golden brown.

Spread crisp hsshed brown potatoes and 3 to 4 pieces crisp vegetarian bacon, crumbled on a flour tortillas. Roll up. Top with grated cheese and green or red chili puree (or any other salsa mango salsa is good for this.) If desired, add a fried egg, sunny side up. Put in oven long enough to melt cheese. Serve immediately
