I had the privilege of being asked to read an ARC and endorse KINFOLK, and wow, this heartfelt storytelling is masterful and genuine and takes you into the South in a way only Sean can do. Read my endorsement below!
🧇 Also, KINFOLK inspired these copycat Waffle House Waffles!
“Sean Dietrick is a master at creating Southern characters who are relatable in their brokenness, hope, and perseverance. Laugh-out-loud colloquialisms bring sincerity and realism to small-town life. Kinfolk spins both a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale about family, redemption, second chances, and the power of love that moves us all.”
❤️ Special thanks to Harper Muse @harpermusebooks for the opportunity!
Waffle House Waffles
Ingredients
1 ½ cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup salted butter, softened, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup buttermilk
cooking spray
pure maple syrup, and/or chocolate chips, for serving
How to Make
1. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
2. Whisk together egg, sugar, butter, and vanilla in a separate large bowl until mixture is smooth. Whisk in half-and-half and buttermilk. Add flour mixture; stir until just combined and a few lumps remain. Do not overmix. Chill, covered, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
3. Preheat waffle iron to medium-high; lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour about 2/3 cup batter onto waffle iron. Cook until golden and crisp on edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate; keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles with maple syrup, chocolate chips, and/or additional butter
