S'MORES WAFFLE SANDWICHES + A QUESTION

This will be a brief one—if one can call any sort of musing involving a full-on s’mores waffle sandwich “brief”.

If you’ve visited or read this site much, you’ll notice that the recipes have always been accompanied by quite a bit of writing: about life, about my life, about things both cooking and non-cooking related.

Lately, you have probably noticed that there’s been a shift in the tone; I’ve been playing around with writing some fiction (although that is…a loose term, at best). I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to treat this fiction writing as a new project, instead of dropping it in here.

This would mean I’d start a weekly email (newsletter?) with fiction chapters. If you’re into reading it, you can sign up and it’ll come right to your inbox.

I’ll keep this space for what it’s always been (for now)—recipes and some related writing around it.

Or, I could just…keep throwing fiction at you here! I’d be very curious (and happy) to know what you think…and what you’d like to read, and how. You can always leave a comment here, or just email me here.

In return for your thoughts, here’s a recipe that everyone should probably make immediately, if not sooner.

S’mores Waffle Sandwiches

For the waffles
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups (397g) well-shaken buttermilk
8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30g) graham cracker crumbs (about 4 full crackers, finely crushed)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
an additional 4 graham crackers, coarsely crushed

For the assembly
mini marshmallows
dark chocolate chunks or chopped dark chocolate

To make the waffles: Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix gently until mostly smooth—don’t overmix.

Stir in the coarsely crushed graham crackers.

Heat a waffle iron and grease well.

Cook the waffles accordingly to the waffle iron’s instructions and set aside.

(You can make the s’mores sandwiches now or let the waffles cool, freeze them, and assemble the sandwiches at a later date.)

To assemble the sandwiches, heat the waffle iron again. Place one full waffle on the bottom of the iron, top it with a layer of mini marshmallows and a layer of dark chocolate, then place another waffle on top. Close the iron and cook until the inside is melted and gooey.
