Biscuit Waffles

Biscuit waffles...biscuits made in a waffle maker! They couldn't be simpler to make and you can put anything in them! They are great for breakfast on the run or serve them on Saturday mornings with an egg on top. I'm going to share the recipe that I always make (Matt's favorite) and then at the end I will talk about other flavor combinations that you can try. Here's what I did...

-Bisquick mix
-1/2 cup of chopped ham 
-a large handful of extra sharp cheddar, grated
-2 scallions, chopped
-1 TBS of smoked paprika
-1/2 tsp of chipotle powder (or to taste)
-2 scallions, thinly sliced

*Makes 6 to 8 waffles

Preheat your waffle maker. Follow the directions on the side of the Bisquick box for biscuits, add the spices and double the amount of milk. Stir to combine. Then fold in the remaining ingredients. Spray your waffle maker with Pam and spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the batter into the center of each waffle square. (Don't fill it too full or when you close it the batter will squish out the sides of the waffle maker and the center of the biscuit won't cook.) Let the biscuit cook for about 5 minutes. (Resist the temptation to lift the lid!) Repeat until all the batter is cooked making sure to spray the waffle maker between each batch. 



Now, I know this is going to sound strange, but I promise you that it's delicious...these biscuits are so good with raspberry jam. Seriously. The biscuits are smokey and spicy and the jam adds just the right amount of sweetness to compliment the spices, as well as the ham and cheese. Like I said, it may sound weird to you, but keep an open mind and give it a try. :) So, I also told you that I would give you additional ideas for different flavors. Here they are....

-Turkey, pepper jack (or swiss), chives (or scallions)
-Ground pork (cooked), green chilies, cilantro, ancho chili powder, smoked paprika
-Shredded veggies (carrots, zucchini, finely cut fresh spinach, etc). This one would be good if you need to sneak veggies into your kids. Top this one with cheesy scrambled eggs and they'll never know that there are veggies in the biscuit! 


I always make these biscuits on the weekend or in the evening to have for them ready for the week. They reheat up really well in a toaster or microwave and are easy to eat on the run. I hope you try this and enjoy them! I'd love to hear any flavor combinations that you came up with!
