Out of This World Waffles: $.14 a serving




Love me some waffles. How could I not? My very picky kids eat them, and they are only $.14 a serving! Plus these waffles are only 6 Weight Watcher Points Plus points if eaten with sugar free syrup! I've even been known to make waffles for dinner. Why not? :)

3/4 tea. salt                                (price not calculated)
1 1/2 TBS sugar                         (price not calculated)
2 large eggs, beaten                  ($0, we have chickens)
2 1/2 cups of milk                      ($.39, Aldi, $2.49 gallon) 
3/4 cuo vegetable oil                  ($.30, Aldi, $2.39 bottle)
Sugar-free syrup                        ($.09 for 1/8 cup, Walmart brand, $2.14)

Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl.

Combine eggs, milk, and oil; add to flour mixture, stirring with a wire wisk just until moistened.

Cook in preheated, oiled waffle iron until golden. Yield: 16 (4-inch) waffles.

Budget tip: Make this even cheaper to make by using milk made from powdered milk Save the "real" milk to drink with the waffles.

Leftover TipThrow any leftover waffles in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat them in the toaster. So easy!
