Today I’m here to inform you of the fact that if you have been forced into the confines of a gluten free diet in this lifetime, you can still have waffles!
[sorghum waffles wearing maple berry smooch syrup with sides of elk breakfast sausage and nectarine slices]
How To:
2 eggs (separated)
1/4 cup canola oil (or whatever oil you prefer)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cup sorghum cornstarch mix (2/3 + 1/2 cup sorghum flour AND 1/3 + 1/4 cup cornstarch premix this in a separate bowl and then measure out the amount needed for this recipe…sorry to confustigate you…if you find yourself feeling confustigated…which isn’t a real word by the way)
4 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 tsp xanthan gum
Beat egg yolks, stirk in milk and oil. Add flour, sugar, baking power and salt. Stir until all lumps are gone. Beat egg whites until stiff and gently fold into batter. Pour into your waffle iron, cook and eat.
Just to set the record straight, RW is the Waffle King and makes fresh waffles from scratch most days of the week. Yes. I agree. He is a magical fluffy baby centaur man!
Now, if you’re in the tropics, you won’t comprehend what I’m talking about when I make this next statement but let me tell you, waffles were the perfect thing for breakfast today as it’s been snowing nonstop and a winter wonderland always seems cozier when there are waffles on the kitchen table! What’s your favorite cold weather breakfast?
I hope it’s lovely where you are!
I’ll be back in a while with a post all about my recent time away!
Stay tuned.

PS The maple berry smooch syrup came to me by way of a friend who resides in my home town in Canada. It’s made of maple syrup and Saskatoon Berries (also known as Service Berries) My dear friend Michele is ALSO the gal who won the golden ticket giveaway! She’s an amazingly generous woman and actually gave the necklace to her best friend who lives in Tucson. Can you believe it? Thanks for the Saskatoon sauce, Ms Michele, it made us smack our lips like a pack of wild things.
Mmmmm. I love waffles! So glad to hear about the Golden Ticket winner!!! I've been OH SO CURIOUS! Looking forward to hearing about your jaunt!
The waffles look wonderful! I just wanted to let you know that canola, corn, and soy oils are particularly bad for you if you're having thyroid problems. (sugar, too, but I bet you already knew that)
Believe it, or not, coconut oil is much better for you.
Dunno if you WANTED to know that, but I just thought I'd be neighborly. Cheers! Have a GREAT weekend!
Ciáo!
i agree– waffles are the best! we are devoted twice a week sourdough wafflers. i am a complete sourdough junkie. and good news! if you google gluten free sourdough you can make your own starter with different flours! i encourage this.
soooo glad you're back!
Plume…Gluten free isn't too bad…I try my best to adhere to it but it's a difficult diet to adhere to strictly…I'm always cheating a bit here and there. I've done the waffles but your syrup definitely trumps mine…sounds wonderful! I do rice pasta and there's a european brand of shortbread cookies that are really tasty! Gluten free is expensive too!
*hugs* welcome home Jillian. Those waffles look delish. Sending you lots of love.

Pure waffle love(and a little lust, I had a just made today by mama chicken poachy egg with cheese toast it was nice but it was not WAFFLES), those look so fabulous and tender and that garnet-imbued syrup ohhhhhhhhhhh and that Rob oh man, what a man. All. So. Good. Welcome home to your snowy wonderland, Miss elvenkind snow-princess.
Welcome home La Belle Plume!! xo
Congrats to Michele's lucky friend!
So glad you posted the winner!
Your syrup sounds soooo YUM!
Fave wintery breakfast-
Gluten-free Buckwheat Waffles with fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and YES a dollop of whipped cream!!!
Très fabuleux…

yummmm i have a jar of said sauce in my pantry, i've been waiting to make PUMPKIN WAFFLES (GF OF COURSE) to eat it on – maybe this weekend!!! and definitely, assuredly, all is NOT lost for those of us eating sans gluten (or sans dairy for that matter). i made a particularly delicious recipe of egg and sausage casserole this past week that knocked my socks off – the GF/CF version tasted remarkably similar to the one with dairy, so i was tickled!! Anyway, glad you enjoyed your waffles 😉
see you in the new year?

Those waffles looks so yummy & I rarely eat waffles. I'm from the South so I'd have to say my favorite winter breakfast would have to be biscuits & gravy with grits or Mom's chipped beef in gravy over toast. I hope I get one or the other over Thanksgiving.
Glad you got back safely.

Thanks for all the waffle love, ladies! And Steph, thanks for the oil information — I'm always looking to educate myself on how to eat better in light of my health issues:) Your sharing is welcome here. x
