WAFFLE MIX IN A LOVELY JAR

This is a very inexpensive yet lovely Christmas gift and is a nice way to say Merry Christmas.  This is just a mason quart canning jar with a water-slide label of a beautiful deer, but you could chose any label you like.  If you saw my post of the Snowman Cookie Jar I noted that I had added another image on the label as to not waste the label.  If you print the waterslide labels you can save them for later if you have NOT put the coating on them.  Once you put the coating on them you have to use them or they will crack. Click on the link above to go to the Snowman Cookie Jar and find instructions for the waterslide label.

Anyway the jar is filled with a really yummy waffle mix that is very easy to put together.

 

You start out with a simple mason jar.

 

These are all the ingredients needed for the waffle mix, Baking powder, corn starch, AP flour, baking soda, salt and sugar.

Recipe: 

7 1/2 cups AP flour (I always use King Arthur, worth the $)

2 1/2 cups corn starch

5 tablespoons of sugar

5 teaspoons baking powder

5 teaspoons table salt

2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Put all these ingredients into a large bowl and using a wire whisk, whisk until all the ingredients are combined.

To make a batch of waffles for every 1 1/4 cups of the mix add the following:  1egg, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup melted butter and 1 tsp vanilla.  Mix the we ingredients and then fold into the dry and make yourself some really yummy waffles!

  This jar has enough waffle mix for two batches.  If you do not want to use the jar you could just put the mix into zip lock bags, print out the instructions on a label and affix to the zip lock and put them into gift bags and maybe add some real maple syrup and you could call it "Breakfast in a Bag."

Cooks note:  I have only two recipes that call for this much corn starch and they are both yummy, this one and Junior's Cheesecake and well, that is over-the-top good and my favorite cheesecake but that's another post another time.

On my post of November 29th (Cookie Jar Gift) you will find instructions for the waterslide label.All I did here is add the label to the jar, tie on the gingham ribbon, a little greenery, a snippet of tinsel ribbon, add the instruction label and it's all done.
