Yeah, kind sounds like nuts - what! - bacon in a waffle with fruits and whip cream (laughs) .... Well yeah, 1890 Captain's House on the Lake trademark recipe. Ingredients:
ingredients |
waffles |
2 cups biscuit mix |
1 egg |
1/2 cup oil |
1-1/2 cups club soda |
hormel real bacon bits (tastes like fresh bacon and are always soft) |
french pecan-praline cream topping |
one 8-ounce container cool whip dessert topping |
2 tablespoons pecan-praline liquid mix |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
pan-fried apples and bananas |
1/2 apple, cored and sliced into rings |
1/2 large banana, sliced middle to tip |
maple peach syrup |
maple syrup |
peach jam |
Directions:
1. Waffles: Use 2 waffle irons - 1 regular and 1 heart-shaped.
2. Spray each waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray before heating.
3. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, egg, oil, and club soda.
4. Sprinkle heavily with bacon bits and bake in waffle irons until golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Note: The club soda doesn't permit the batter to be stored, but this recipe freezes very well. Also, you can keep one batch hot on top of the iron while preparing a second batch.
6. French Pecan-Praline Cream Topping:
7. Combine dessert topping, pecan-praline liquid mix, and powdered sugar and mix together.
8. Pan-fried Apples and Bananas:
9. Sprinkle both sides of fruit well with cinnamon.
10. Saute over medium heat.
11. Maple-Peach Syrup:
12. To every 1/2 cup of your favorite Maple syrup, add 1/2 cup of homemade or favorite peach jam or preserves. Mix well and heat in microwave until bubbly.
13. Plate Arrangement:
14. Arrange waffles like a butterfly on plate.
15. Top with hot Maple-Peach syrup. Arrange pan-fried bananas and apples at top in head area. Top with French-Praline Cream. Create the lower body part of butterfly out of heart-shaped waffles and top with fresh bananas. Dribble the strawberries over entire waffles. Using a sifter, sift powdered sugar generously over the entire plate.
16. Yield: 8 to 10 small sections of 3- to 4-inch regular or heart-shaped waffles
