Mary Diamond Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Ooooh, we just watched this, they sound delicious! Oooh, shiny!
Duchess Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Wow! I've been working on developing a waffle recipe for my family, after of our favorite mix changed. What we've settled on is strikingly similar to this one! 2 cups all purpose flour 1.5 cups of warm milk 3 tbls brown sugar (I suspect maple syrup or honey would be equally good) 3/4 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1.5 tsp yeast Let rise 1 hour on counter or overnight in refrigerator after an hour on the counter. Here's this mornings breakfast.
Mission Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 If you were on a ship, it was typically biscuit and cheese for breakfast. I did find one period instance of a merchant ship where they made rice - the rare example of a hot breakfast. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Stynky Tudor Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 This reminds me, I need to make a batch of Waffles for me mum and stow 'em in the freezer...needs bacon.
LadyBarbossa Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Waffles, hmm? Good heavens! Scrambled eggs and roasted coffee over the fire, we'll be having some fabulous breakfasts! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
William Brand Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Michael Mendenhall of Fighting Quaker Forge made waffles for us on a period waffle iron at the Utah Pirate Invasion. They were glorious waffles.

BUT they changed their recipe late last year and the new stuff smells just like playdoh to me and I can't get over it. I was so bummed. So we started experimenting and came up with the yeasted recipe I posted above.

With the news that they've changed the recipe, looks like I'll be making them from scratch once the last box is gone.
madPete Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Except for eggs, milk, vanilla and yeast, we could mix it up ahead of time in baggies and bring to ft Gaines. We would need a grocery run and a cast iron wafflemaker. I have a small one which i just purchased and seasoned. So I'm trying out the above recipe with added ingredients from the JS townsend video (nutmeg and wine). I'll let you know how I did... Aye... Plunder Awaits!
madPete Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Delicious!!! The first waffle came out in two pieces because I forgot to melt butter over the cast iron. But it still tasted great. Scraped some sticky pieces off, buttered and WALLAH! see below. Everyone after came out nice 4 minutes a side on the stovetop on Med heat... Aye... Plunder Awaits!

We usually make a batch on Friday night/saturday morning and eat waffles for breakfast for 3-4 days. You might be able to make it up ahead of time and store it in a jug in a cooler. 58 minutes ago, madPete said: Delicious!!!

madPete Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 It made almost a perfect 6 waffles in my iron. I ate the first one and froze the remaining 5. Then you can either microwave or toast them depending on your preference. I did add nutmeg and about a half gil of Madeira wine to your recipe, per the Js Townsends video. We'll have to discuss food for Ft Gaines as we are flying in. Dont think my waffle iron is gonna fly with us LOL Aye... Plunder Awaits!

I'm sorry, but NO you can't. Reheating homemade frozen waffles in a microwave is against all natural law and violates several (secret) Pyracy Pub Policies. Besides it changes the texture to yuk. As a PPM, Pyracy Pub Member, you are only entitled to reheat such things with either a toaster, toaster oven or open flame.
