It's bacon in a waffle! (And gluten and dairy free!) Here's a recipe adapted from the Joy of Cooking.
Bacon cornmeal waffles
Heat a waffle iron.
Combine:
2 tablespoons golden flax seed (or 2 beaten eggs, if you
prefer)
1 3/4 cups almond milk, water, or milk
1 cup brown rice or wheat flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
1T maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
Fold in:
1 C yellow cornmeal
Add:
1/4 C shortening
Cut into halves or quarters: 6-12 slices of bacon. (I cook
the bacon for about 1 minute first in the microwave, because otherwise it doesn’t
always cook thoroughly enough in the waffles.)
Pour the batter onto the waffle iron and place a few slices
of bacon on top. Cook until you can remove the waffle without it sticking to
the waffle iron.
Okay, okay, I realize this is a food blog, and maybe garden decorations aren't an *entirely* appropriate subject. But, they are in my kitchen garden and made from kitchen implements, so isn't that close enough? In any case, I saw this idea in Real Simple last month, and I just had to try it. I got some old, neat-looking utensils at Goodwill and wrote the names of plants on them. I love them. Now I just need some more utensils so I can do the rest of my plants.
