Cherry Pie Waffles A la Mode ‪#‎KitchenDrawerContest

 I am all about kitchen gadgets and utensils that help me out in the kitchen.  If I go shopping you will most likely find me drooling in the kitchen/housewares department... never in shoes or clothing.  I truly believe having the right kitchen utensils/gadgets can make cooking not only easier, but more fun. Good Cook gave me 5 items to try out in their Kitchen Drawer Event and asked me to come up with a recipe utilizing at least two of them.  I love a challenge, so I decided to make a recipe that utilized ALL of them. :) I don't make waffles very often at home.. but when I do I want them to be better than any pancake house restaurant.  I made these "dessert" waffles and my husband and kids were more than delighted to eat it for breakfast.  Ice cream for breakfast... hey... it's not every day... but it's fun once in a while.  Remember to check out the Kitchen Drawer Contest information below... you don't want to miss out on this fun opportunity.

2 cups All Purpose Flour- sifted

1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups whole milk
1 tsp vanilla 

Toppings:
1 can cherry pie filling
vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Directions:

Measure out and sift all dry ingredients. Place in a bowl until needed.  Next separate eggs whites form yolks and place in two different bowls. Add milk, sugar and melted butter to egg yolk bowl.  Use an electric mixer to whip the eggs to stiff peaks.   Then blend the milk/egg yolk mixture.  *if using one set of beaters, always use clean beaters to whip the egg whites first.

 Next mix the dry with the wet ingredients and whisk gently incorporate them together.  Then add 1/3 of the whipped egg mixture and loosen the batter.  Fold in the remaining 2/3 of the whipped egg whites gently.  Butter and prepare waffle maker.

Here are the links and my review of the 5 items in the Kitchen Drawer Contest:

a.       SMART Ice cream scoop: http://www.goodcook.com/cooks%27-tools/ice-cream-scoops/smart-scoop-ice-cream-scoop-p-180.html l
Review:  This is by far my FAVORITE ice cream scoop ever!! I love how easy it is to use and I even ordered a second scoop as part of my 15 items because we always have 2 flavors of ice creams out at parties.  

b.      Flip Measuring spoon: http://www.goodcook.com/bakeware/mixing-&-measuring/measuring-spoons-and-cups/doublesided-flip-measuring-spoon-p-215.html
Review: Now this measuring spoon is all about efficiency and convenience.  I love how all the spoon measures I use are within one tool so no fussing around my kitchen drawers to find anything.  Another plus...since it's one tool... there is less washing to do.  That's always a plus for this home cook. 

c.       Safe-cut Can Opener: http://www.goodcook.com/kitchen-gadgets/openers/safecut-41-can-opener-white-p-132.html
 Review: I have always wanted a safe-cut style can opener, but I was a little scared of them.  I wasn't sure what to expect when I first used this... but I should not have worried.  This was such an easy can opener to use, even my kids were able to do it.  I also love the other features such as the pop-up can hook.

d.      Egg Separator: http://www.goodcook.com/kitchen-gadgets/egg-tools/egg-separator-p-162.html
     Review:  I have to admit, when I see a recipe for separating eggs, I used to turn the page and say "forgetaboutit".  Now with this incredibly easy to use egg separator, it's easy to do and clean up.  My daughter helped me use it for this recipe and she can't wait to separate more eggs.  

e.      Pot Clip Holder: http://www.goodcook.com/household/bag-clips/utensil-pot-clip-p-139.html

                        Review:   I always put my spoon on a spoon rest and it gets terribly messy so I have to clean it with the dishes every day (that means more to clean up). Now with the clip, I can conveniently have my spoon right on the pot without worrying about it falling in or down on the floor.  It's not only for pots, I clipped it to my batter bowl so I could keep my batter spoon close by when making my waffles.
