Buttermilk Waffles (GF and egg-free)

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

1 3/4 c. flour 

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 3/4 c. buttermilk*

1/2 c. butter, melted

2 eggs OR 4 Tbsp. warm water mixed with 1 Tbsp. Ener-G

2 tsp. vanilla

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt*. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Let sit at least 5 minutes.

Preheat waffle iron. Cook according to your waffle iron's directions.

You can keep them warm on a cookie sheet in a 250-300 degree oven but the longer they're in there, the more they will dry out!

* I used Saco dry buttermilk. If using it, mix 7 Tbsp. dry buttermilk with the other dry ingredients, and use 1 3/4 c. water where the recipe calls for buttermilk.

Butter Garlic Thighs

BUTTER GARLIC CHICKEN

1/2 cup butter
10 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Salt
2.5 lbs thin, boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Preheat oven to 325.

Heat butter in a small pan on medium low. Add garlic and salt. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Place thighs in a baking dish. Pour butter sauce over them and turn to coat. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes until done.

 Serve with Dill Mayo Dip

I chop the chicken after it cooks, put it back in the pan, and mix in 2 c. cooked rice.

Sides that go well:
Celery sticks
Sliced cucumbers sprinkled with salt, pepper, and dill

Dill Mayo Dip

DILL MAYO DIP

1 cup mayo
2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp pepper
Salt

Combine.

It's best to make it ahead so the flavors have time to blend.

It's delicious with Butter Garlic Chicken, or as a dip for fresh veggies!
