Waffle Crepes

New creation!  You could also call these "Wacky Waffles" because of the funny, floppy texture.  My kids love them!

All I did was take regular crepe batter, sweetened it with honey, and baked it in a waffle iron.  The idea came to me after TRYING to make waffles last weekend, and my normal fool-proof waffles flopped.  (Side note: In case you didn't know, cornstarch and baking powder are NOT interchangeable...)  Ah-HEM...

Anyway, I didn't want them browned, because I wanted to still be able to roll up like crepes, but I thought maybe the waffle holes would help hold on to whatever filling I wanted to use.  Today, we ate them plain or just rolled the waffle quarters around a small "stick" of cream cheese - easier than trying to spread it - and they made great finger food.  Plus, this was way easier than the traditional way of making crepes - at least for me in my stainless steel pans.  :)

Here is the recipe I used, in case you don't already have a favorite:

2 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. white whole wheat flour
1 T. oil (or I'm sure melted butter would taste great too!)
2 T. honey
1/4 tsp. salt

Beat it all together, pour into waffle iron, and wait till steam slows.  Mine fell a little after taking them out - I don't know if that's elevation or what, but it didn't bother us anyway.  :)

Hope you enjoy!
