52 Tuesdays: Favorite Thrifts #13 (and a recipe)



What: Five of Hearts Waffle Maker
Where: Stacey's Funk Finds, SoDo Seattle
Level of Love: 10 out of 10

We picked this waffle maker up awhile ago at this treasure of a secondhand shop in SoDo. We actually haven't been back to Stacey's since then, which is unfortunate and must be remedied soon methinks. 

I took these photos when we pulled it out for a waffle brunch last Saturday. The Churchills really love waffles. If you happen to drop by our house on any given Saturday or Sunday morning, there's a good chance you'll find a stack of waffles waiting. This waffle maker makes the best crispy little waffles. And they happen to be adorable, too.  This is my go to waffle recipe, with a few substitutions. Here's how I make them: 

1 3/4 whole wheat flour (although I've used a combination of white/wheat or all white flour, too)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter melted
1 cup milk
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (we like FAGE - pronounced fa-yeh - brand)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water (it's an egg substitute)

Whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl. Whisk wet ingredients in another bowl. Pour wet into dry and whisk it all together. Make waffles.
