Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the waffle maker
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk
  • 1 cup stout
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

  1. To make these stout waffles, melt butter in a medium pot over low heat. Add buttermilk and Bell’s Double Cream Stout, stir and heat until warm. Turn off the heat.
  2. In a large bowl, add flour, sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. Whisk to combine.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk eggs until well beaten. Add vanilla and whisk to combine. Pour about one cup of the butter/buttermilk/beer mixture into the eggs and whisk vigorously to combine. Pour the rest of the warm butter/buttermilk/beer mixture into the bowl while whisking constantly.
  4. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the flour disappears, but the batter is still a little lumpy. Take care not over mix, but make sure the flour is incorporated. Let the batter sit as your waffle iron heats up.
  5. Spread a thin coat of butter on the preheated waffle iron to prevent the waffles from sticking. Pour batter into the waffle iron and cook until waffles are golden brown. Serve immediately with real maple syrup.

stout meatballs and tomato sauce

Entree

Stout Infused Meatballs and Tomato Sauce

Hearty meatballs and homemade tomato sauce gain depth of flavor with a tipple of dark beer. Stout--with its soft hop character, round mouthfeel and pronounced malt backbone--is an excellent tool to have on hand for grounding a dish, both tempering the acidity of a bright tomato sauce and balancing the savory juiciness of good ground beef. I like to cook with a dry, Irish-style stout with black-olive notes, like the Boston Irish Stout from Harpoon Brewery. This isn't the time for high-octane imperial stouts or anything described as "coffee," "chocolate," or "oatmeal." Save those stouts for baking.
