Homestead’s latest is hitting mailboxes and lodging establishments this week. The 2010 issue also happens to be Homestead’s 10th Anniversary Issue.

To commemorate our 10th anniversary, we’ve put together an issue that represents the collective experience we’ve gained over the past 10 years. Working with builders, architects, designers, writers and artistic individuals, we’ve learned this publication is a cooperative. We return to our roots with the 2010 issue and offer you, our reader, a true resource guide: an authentic volume of articles, essays, interviews and insights on the latest in architecture, interior design and art for your home.

We’ve started up a new tradition here at the Circumerro office by kicking off Friday mornings with staff breakfast. This past friday Arik treated us all with his famous Butler Creek Waffles. Being up at 4:30 whipping together the mix didn’t even slow him down later that day.

Check out the recipe and bring a little spice to your own morning.

Waffle Batter
6 eggs
1 tbl vanilla
1 qt milk

Separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks, vanilla and milk. Beat the whites until they are firm.

3 cups flour
2 tbl baking powder
pinch salt

Mix these into the egg/milk/vanilla mixture

1 cup melted butter
Mix the melted butter into the batter
Fold the batter into the beaten egg whites - some egg white lumps are ok.
Use the waffle iron of your choice.  The batter makes ok pancake batter too!

Special Sauce
1 cup white sugar
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups water

Boil it for a while until it looks like the consistency you like for syrup. Remove from heat and mix in:

1 tbl imitation maple flavoring
1 tbl vanilla extract

Apply generously to waffles. If there is not a lake on the plate, you’re not using enough.
