Waffle of Insane Greatness

Breakfast for dinner is a regular at the Greer Household.  Many years ago I originally saw this recipe featured on the now canceled Rachael Ray show called $40 a Day.  We tried to eat at Aretha Frankensteins while Emmaline was at Erlanger, but the wait was too long.  Recently Our Best Bites featured this recipe and I knew I had to try it.

2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and mix well. 
3. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat a waffle iron. Do not use non-stick spray on the waffle iron; the oil in the batter will allow the waffle to release easily. Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles. Serve immediately with butter and syrup.

The ruling:
These are some of the best waffles I've ever had!  Ryder loves them!  While I love to find new recipes for my favorite foods, sometimes I find a recipe that is so good I don't want to try another one.  This is officially my go to waffle recipe.

Better than Jim N Nick's Cheese Biscuits #71

Saw this last night on one of my favorite cooking blogs, Plain Chicken.  I love any kind of cheese bread or biscuits.  These especially intrigued me with the ingredients sugar and vanilla.

The case:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Bisquick

3/4 cup buttermilk

3 Tbps sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425.  Stir together all ingredients just until combined.  Scoop into a mini muffin pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake 12-15 minutes, until golden.  

The ruling:

I made them into regular sized biscuits and got about 10 medium sized biscuits.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE these biscuits. They are savory with just a hit of sweetness.  These ingredients come together perfectly!
