Rainbow Waffles for St. Patrick's Day

Looking for a Fun St. Patrick's Day Breakfast? 

How about looking for the pot of gold at the end of the Waffle Rainbow? 

momstown Central Alberta's Junior Chef event created these colourful waffles! 

Don't they look fun?

How did we do it?

We started by mixing together our Waffle mix - from scratch!

Here is the recipe we used from www.allrecipe.com

2 cups of Flour

1tsp salt

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups warm milk

1/3 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.
3. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

How do you make the rainbow? We divided the batter into 5 bowls and used food coloring to color each a different color. We used red green blue yellow and purple. These were then transferred to squeeze bottles. 

Now the fun part! using the squeeze bottles, in a circular motion, layer the colors in the waffle iron and close the lid to wait for the color magic!

When the waffles are cooked, you can see your creation!

Happy Leprechaun hunting!!
