American Girl Cooking Class at Williams-Sonoma: Homemade Waffles with Recipe

Hey Yall!  This past weekend, the girls and I went back to our usual routine of attending Williams-Sonoma American Girl cooking classes.


I noticed that Williams-Sonoma has cut down on their cooking classes, especially the ones that were free.  I wonder why, though?  Did it take up too much of their time?  Wasn't worth having so many?  Well...who knows!  I'm just glad they have these cooking opportunities for both adults and children.

This month's American Girl Culinary Class was all about Breakfast Parties, whipping up delicious homemade waffles the morning after sleepover fun with all your friends.  Fun and Yum!

The girls kept their dolls at home this time so they could fully focus on all the instructions in class.  They were very hands on mixing up the ingredients and taste testing, so the last thing they wanted to worry about is where to place their dolls.

Girl of the Year 2017 Gabriela McBride  / Cecile Ray (Retired)

Oh, and by the way, Michelle just found out a couple of weeks ago that her doll is Girl of the Year 2017!  How cool is that!!  So now we have a Historical Doll that has been archived, as well as a Girl of the Year!  Heyyyyyyyyy!!!  😁

The waffles were very easy to make with simple ingredients that any young chef can prepare.  Ingredients can be easily found already in your kitchen.  Check out what you need and instructions below:

• 2 Cups All-Purpose flour

• 1 Tbs. Sugar

• 1 Tbs. Baking Powder

• 1/4 Tsp. Salt

• 3 Eggs

• 1 1/2 Cups of Milk

• 6 Tbs. Unsalted Butter, Melted

• Waffle Maker

• Medium Bowl

• Whisk

• Toppings of your choice

Preheat a waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.


 



In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.  While whisking gently, gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.  The batter will be lumpy.



When the waffle maker is ready, pour batter over the cooking grid.  Close the lid and cook until the steam subsides and the indicator light signals that the waffle is ready, 2 to 4 minutes.  Carefully open the waffle maker, transfer the waffle to a serving plate and serve right away with toppings.



Cook the remaining batter in the same way, serving each waffle as it's ready.  Serves 4 to 6.



Topping Ideas: Pure Maple Syrup, Raspberry Jam or Orange Marmalade, Sliced Strawberries, Raspberries and/or Blueberries, Mini Chocolate Chips, and Whipped Cream

All the kiddos loved their waffle creations, had them licking their plates and asking for more.

Before the class concluded, each child went home with an American Girl Parties Cookbook with recipes to make for different occasions and holidays.  This book is going to have my girls and I baking up some scrumptious dishes in my new kitchen!

Next cooking class in February, kids will be making crepes, another one of my breakfast favorites.
