Grandma's Norwegian Oatmeal Waffles

 

Recipe By :A Taste of Julie Jordan, 100 Top Vegetarian Classics

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Breakfast

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups milk

2 cups rolled oats

2 eggs -- separated

1/3 cup butter -- melted

1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Heat the milk until scalded, then pour it over the rolled oats in a medium-size

bowl. Cool for about 30 minutes.

 

Mix in the egg yolks, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and salt.

 

Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the batter.

 

Make the waffles following the directions for your waffle iron. Butter the

waffle iron thoroughly, since these waffles are very tender and have a tendency

to stick.

 

Serve warm. The traditional accompaniments are butter and homemade jams; butter

and maple syrup; and yogurt, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.

 

Grandma's Oatmeal Pancakes: Make the batter exactly as for waffles. Fry the

pancakes in butter in a large frying pan, flipping once. Makes 4 waffles or 12

pancakes. Serves 4.

NOTES : Back in the good old days, my grandmother and grandfather ran a

Norwegian waffle house in Brooklyn. There were lines around the block waiting

to get in. One Christmas my grandparents wanted to go to a big party the

relatives were throwing, so they sold the restaurant. I like that story. The

oatmeal gives the waffles an extra chewiness.
