JENNIFER’S WAFFLES
Easy and tasty! Toast them in the
toaster when required to crisp them again. This recipe is in Low-Carbing Among Friends, Volume-1. A very popular recipe in my section was the Ice Cream Custard on page 75. All summer long it was a very popular recipe on my blog. If you freeze it in a container that is deep like a regular ice cream tub, plus use the cream that sits on the shelf in cartons, it stays scoopable for a couple of days! It is very easy to change the flavor and I give 4 variations - Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Strawberry and Cappuccino.
8 oz regular cream cheese, softened (250 g)
4 eggs
3/4 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix, (175 mL)
Sweetener to equal 4 tsp sugar (20 mL)
1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)
1/2 tsp baking soda (2 mL)
1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)
1/2 tsp baking soda (2 mL)
light-tasting olive oil
Preheat waffle maker
for at least 15 minutes or according to directions. This is important to
prevent waffles from sticking. They must come out easily.
In food processor or blender, process cream cheese, eggs, Gluten-Free Bake Mix, sweetener (if using), baking powder and baking soda, scraping sides occasionally.
Liberally brush inside
forms with olive oil before placing 3 tbsp (45 mL) of batter on each form. Spread the batter to all the corners of the
waffle iron form. Close lid, set the oven timer and cook for 3 minutes. Don’t open the lid until it is time.

Hints: Calories will be higher due to olive oil used
to brush insides of the waffle maker. Use
in place of bread with eggs and bacon or spread with sweetened spreadable cream
cheese or use low-carb syrup. Lots of ideas - even strawberry sauce or
blueberry sauce and topped with whipped cream or creamy, whipped Creme Fraiche or delicious Ice Cream Custard.
