Best 3 Maple Snow Recipes

MAPLE TAFFY ON SNOW OR CRUSHED ICE

Steps:

• Pack clean fresh snow into 2 13x9 pans until dense and smooth on top.
• Keep snow or crushed ice outside or in freezer until ready to use.
• Add maple syrup & butter to saucepan.
• Boil uncovered on medium high heat until the syrup reaches 250 - 260 degrees.
• Do not stir.
• Remove from heat immediately and pour small strips of hot syrup on snow until pot is empty.
• A second person (wearing winter gloves) should roll each hot strip onto a popsicle stick or fork and leave on the snow to cool.
• Eat when cool.
• The syrup is extremely hot - it can cause severe burns.
• Store uneaten sticks on cookie sheets lined with waxed paper in the deep freeze.
• They will keep for several weeks.

SNOW FLURRY BELGIAN WAFFLES W/ MAPLE NUT SCHMEAR

Steps:

• Directions: 1. Bloom the spices in butter**: Heat 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium heat until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue to cook, swirling pan constantly, until butter is light brown and has faint nutty aroma, 2 to 4 minutes. Add spices and continue to cook, stirring constantly, 15 seconds. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. 2. Combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda. 3. Mix together the buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute) and the egg yolks. Stir in the spiced butter and vanilla. Spray the waffle iron well and preheat it. Stir the wet into the dry ingredients. 4. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl with a whisk or electric mixer (make sure bowl and mixer are spotlessly clean) until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter. Add carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Stir gently to combine. 5. Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Spray iron with cooking spray between waffles as needed. 6. To make Maple Cream Cheese spread, simply combine nuts, syrup, and cream cheese and mix well. Serve waffles immediately with a schmear of Maple Cream Cheese spread (which will get lovely and melty), or keep them warm for a few minutes in a low oven.*** Notes: * The buttermilk can be substituted with 1 1/4 cups of milk at room temperature, mixed with two tablespoons white vinegar, left to clabber for 10 minutes. **If you prefer a quicker breakfast, you can melt and cool the butter plain instead of browning it and blooming the spices in it - but doing so does add flavor. If you do skip the spice blooming, simply add the spices to the dry ingredients in step 2. Add your plain melted, cooled butter instead of the spiced butter in step 3.
