In the last post, I gave recipes for two delicious Iranian types of bread. In this one, I share a recipe for baking muffins and another one for waffles. Both recipes are just slightly modified from the ones you can find on Allrecipes website.

Waffles

Waffles are great in the morning with some banana, pineapple, or mango. I bought this Black&Decker waffle maker last year from Amazon, so baking waffles started even before the pandemic for me. The device is very useful, as it has other plates for grilling and making sandwiches. So I found this recipe and modified it very slightly. It will give you around 8 waffles.

Waffles with walnut and mango, a delicious breakfast

Ingredients

  • 2 cup (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown or white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 and a half cup (200 grams) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams or 3 tablespoons) melted butter or vegetable oil

Stir together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Then pour all the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and beat them until you get a smooth mixture. Pour the batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook until you get golden and crisp waffles (takes around 11 minutes on my waffle maker). You can pour chocolate syrup or honey on the waffles.

Muffins

Instead of buying biscuits or muffins from the nearest Superstore to eat with my tea in the evening, I found a great recipe and modified it slightly. You will have around 12 small muffins with the following ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 2 cup (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 50 grams (4 tablespoons) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml or 4 tablespoons) vegetable oil

Muffins with some chocolate on top

Stir together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. You can use butter instead of vegetable oil. Then pour all the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix them thoroughly. You can also add raisin or walnut pieces to the mixture. While it is mentioned in other recipes that you should not beat the mixture, beating for 5 minutes works better for me. I suggest you try both and choose your favourite. Preheat the oven to 400-420 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 25 minutes.

Some conversions

Since I do not have all the measuring tools in my kitchen, I usually convert cups to tablespoons and so on. I am going to drop some of the conversion rates here:

  • 1 cup for liquids is around 240 ml
  • 1 tablespoon for liquids is around 15 ml or 15 grams
  • 1 cup for flour or other dry goods is around 130 grams
