Graham Flour Waffles

After using Graham flour in the Tea Brack, I have pondered about how to incorporate it into other recipes. First up, waffles. I like waffles and having different types of flour allows for unique flavors and textures. Graham flour is a whole wheat flour – milled as a complete grain, not separately then recombined like standard whole wheat flour. The results when using this flour are nuttier in flavor and chewier in texture. This recipe is based on one available on the website Chef in You which uses saffron to enhance the flavor and color of the waffle. I have tweaked my version to use cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and vanilla for a true ‘spice cookie’ type of waffle (i.e. one of my favorites). This recipe yields two 6 inch round waffles – perfect for a breakfast for two.
