¾
teaspoon kosher salt
2½
cups buttermilk
¼
cup matcha powder (sweetened or not)
1
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3
large eggs
¾
cup vegetable oil
1. Combine the first five ingredients in a
large mixing bowl; whisk until well blended.
In either a large measuring cup or separate
mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, matcha,
and vanilla extract and slowly whisk until
it is completely smooth (you want to be sure
there are no lumps of the matcha). Once that
is blended, whisk in the eggs and oil.
2. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and
whisk until almost smooth (some lumps
are OK).
3. Preheat the waffle maker to desired setting.
4. Pour a scant cup of batter onto the center of
the bottom waffle plate. Close the waffle maker
and turn clockwise to flip. Open the second
waffle plate and add another scant cup of
batter onto the center of that plate, close and
turn clockwise to flip. When the waffles are
ready, carefully open the waffle maker and
remove baked waffle. Then turn and open the
second waffle plate to remove the second
waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. For best results, serve immediately.

French Toast Waffles
A fun twist on French toast. We recommend
a lower setting for these "waffles," so not to
dry out the bread while cooking.
Makes 8 waffles
6
large eggs
1½
cups milk (any variety, nondairy OK)
1
tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2
tablespoons pure maple syrup
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1–2
pinches ground nutmeg
1–2
pinches kosher salt
8
slices soft bread, preferably
challah or brioche
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all
of the ingredients, except for the bread,
and whisk well.
2. Pour the batter into a shallow bowl or a
13x9-inch baking pan. Dip the bread in the
batter and allow to soak on both sides for
a few minutes (just add as much bread as
fits in one layer).
3. Preheat the waffle maker to Setting 2 or 3.
4. Place one piece of the soaked bread on
the waffle plate. Slowly close the waffle maker
and turn clockwise to flip. Open the second
waffle plate and place another piece of the
soaked bread on that plate, close and turn
clockwise to flip. While French toast is baking,
add more bread to soak in the batter.
5. When the waffles are ready, carefully open
the waffle maker and remove baked waffle.
Then turn and open the second waffle plate
to remove the second waffle. Repeat with
remaining soaked bread.
6. For best results, serve immediately.
