Waffle Heaven!

Ok, so I've been a little (a lot bit) food depressed lately.  Haven't posted anything in quite a while, that should be the first sign.  Then there's the stacks of unwashed dishes that grace my counters as of late, and I know I'm in deep.  So Saturday morning, since the sun was shining and the sky was blue, I decided to pull my chin up, and I began my emergence from the GF/DF pit of breakfast despair with just a tiny bit of naughtiness.  The kids and husband agree, these waffles are heavenly....you would never notice that they are GF/DF.  Try them, you'll thank yourself.  Fresh from the iron, they just can't be beat.

1 cup Organic Brown Rice Flour (I used Fairhaven Flour Mill - from Bellingham, WA)
1/2 cup Potato Starch (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup Organic Coconut Flour
2 tsp Aluminum Free Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Sea Salt
2 tbsp Organic Honey
1/4 cup Organic Coconut Oil (VERY gently melted)
2 Organic Free Range size Large eggs
1.5 cups Unsweetened Original Hemp Milk
(I used Tempt brand, but you can use any other non-dairy milk w/out any Xanthan or Guar Gums, and of course cow milk works fine for the non-allergic)
1 tsp Braggs Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

These are best mixed by hand with a whisk, in a nice big bowl.  Old school style.
Put in all dry ingredients, and kind of push them all to one side of the bowl. 
In the other side of the bowl, add in all of the wet ingredients, and quickly whisk to mix them.
Then simply whisk the wet and dry together until a nice batter is achieved, and pour into your waffle iron as necessary.
Enjoy!

Sometimes I'll throw a bunch of frozen berries in my cast iron skillet on the stovetop while the waffles cook.  I toss in about 2 cups of frozen Organic berries, 1 freshly squeezed Lemon or Orange, and about 2 tbsp of Honey.  Heat it over medium, stirring as needed to create a lovely warm berry compote (do not overcook, you want them warm, but not sad and droopy).  The kids will love it, and so will you!
