Style Guide: Pretty Easter Brunch Dresses

Pretty dresses are a must for Easter.  I remember my days as a little girl in my finest Easter dress that my talented mother made for me.  Twirling around in circles just to watch the dress flare out.  As an adult, that magic is not lost on me as I dress my children up to the nines.

Best Belgian Waffles Ever - Recipe

My sweet husband made us the best belgian waffles this weekend.  They were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.  We topped them with condensed milk and whipped cream.  So incredibly yummy!  The recipe below is adapted from America's Test Kitchen.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg, separated (although I used 2 eggs and divided up the egg whites in half because my Kitchenaid mixer couldn't beat up one egg white)

7/8 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1.  Preheat waffle iron and whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.  Whisk yolk with buttermilk and butter in a separate bowl.

2.  Beat 2 egg whites until it holds a 2" peak.

3.  Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a thin steady stream while gently folding ingredients together with a rubber spatula.  Gently fold egg white into batter.

4.  Add batter to waffle iron and follow waffle iron's instructions on cook time.

Serve immediately topped with condensed milk and whipped cream.  Trust me - it's divine.

Number of servings - 2
