So do you think you'll had the best waffles, pancakes, and French Toast huh? Well checkout the winners of a fantastic taste panel. One of my favorite publications is Cook's Illustrated. This is a must have if you are really into 1-stop destinations for everything. Not only do they have great recipes, they offer some of the best tips and product comparisons I have ever seen. Cover to cover a great magazine for foodies at any level. Here is the recipe.
1 1/4 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup Rice Krispies
3/4 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon of salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cup of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1. Pre-heat waffle iron to medium. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl combine egg yolks, milk, vanilla and oil and mix together. In a 3rd bowl whip egg whips until fluffy and form soft peaks.
2. Pour milk mixture over dry ingredients, and stir to moisten. Fold in egg whites just enough to combine. Do not over mix.
Bake waffle in iron about 3-4 minutes. About 2/3 cup of batter makes a nice sized waffle. Increase batter to a cup if you have a really large waffle iron. Serve them immediately. Remember to let your nose tell you when things are done.
As for pancakes I tried several from Fannie Farmer to Hungry Jack Instant. And to my surprise Bisquick lead the pack, or should I say stack. These pancakes are fluffy and tender. Literally melt in you mouth flavor and taste. This is a dynamite Pancake.

As for French Toast...stale or dry bread really is the key. Here is the recipe.
8 large slices hearty Texas Toast Sliced White Bread
1 1/2 cups milk , room temperature
3 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Tunjing Cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (use pure vanilla)
1. You can dry bread in a oven at 300 degrees for about 6-8 minutes while you make your batter.
2. Combine all remaining ingredients and whisk together.
3. Remove bread from oven. Dip both sides of each slice in batter and lay on a baking sheet to drain excess batter.
In a large non stick skillet, (A good one) heat to medium high. Cook Toast in batches about 2 minutes on each side. Serve with Cinnamon butter and hot syrup.

I can't wait to try the waffle recipe with Rice Krispies. That should help to keep them light and fluffy. I think I will try them with strawberries and whipped cream. Yum! Thanks for the tip.
