| Waffles In An Iron Grill Pan |
I never thought of waffles much. Suddenly out of the blue I had a craving for waffles! All I had was an cast iron grill pan to make them. They were good and came out looking like hands with long fingers. You got to flip them like pancakes and it took a few practice waffles to figure out how to lift them from the narrow grill channels. I will be buying a Belgium iron waffle maker to get those nice deep wells for cream cheese and honey.

The waffle batter was a basic recipe. Instead of using the 2 tablespoons of sugar (some recipes use 3 Tablespoons sugar), I used 1/8 teaspoon pure stevia (no additives) instead of sugar. I also used evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I have 1 duck and 1 Americana laying eggs right now so I had enough eggs for this recipe.
The batter was a bit thin so I would reduce the amount of milk from 1 2/3 cups to 1 1/2 cups. Most recipes call for 1 1/2 cups.

Basic Waffle Batter Recipe
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately
Mix Dry ingredients :
2 cups all purpose flour
2-3 Tablespoons of sugar or 1/8 teaspoon of pure stevia
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
Set dry aside
Mix wet ingredients:
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups milk (I used evaporated) Next time I would 1 1/2 cups.)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of maple extract (optional)
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
Combine the wet with the dry:
Get the grill pan hot and then brush with oil
spoon the batter onto the grill.
This next part you are just going to have to experiment. It is a bit hard to lift it off the pan with that batter in the narrow grills.
I found by my 3rd one I had found my method. I used a butter knife to loosen each grill channel on the edge and used a metal spatula to flip it.

| Iron Grill Pan Waffles with berries |
I heated some frozen fresh berries for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and served them with the waffles.
You can store the batter up to 2 days in the fridge or make all the waffles and store in your freezer, then toast them.
You can also make these like pancakes on a flat pan. Waffles have more oil than pancakes so they will have a crispiness on the outside.
