Not only did I want an attention-grabbing name for an under-appreciated, almost extinct breakfast staple that has been lost to the prepackaged convenience foods crowd, I also wanted a great-tasting waffle to eat for breakfast.
Long gone are the days of getting up in your pajamas on a Saturday morning to watch cartoons and eat cereal or to help your mom make waffles or pancakes for breakfast. I just want you to know these waffles are NOT your mother’s waffles… (just sayin’)

The Green Crack Strain has a citrus, earthy, sweet flavor and has reported effects of overly high-energy, happiness and a focused level of creativity, making it a great choice for kicking off your day. Originating out of the Athens, Georgia area in the seventies, supposedly descending from skunk #1, while several other potential parents have also been offered up in discussion. They have included Afghani Landrace and Sweet Leaf Indica to name a few. While its Origins and lineage leave some room for discussion, its popularity and heady effects definitely do not. Green Crack is regarded as an incredible daytime strain that enhances energy levels and fuels an eagle-eye focus and drive.
Now that we’ve got the Green Crack out of the way- why, you wonder- is there sour cream in my cannabis waffles? Well, it helps activate the leavening properties of the baking soda and baking powder, along with those quality farm-raised chicken eggs, giving you that highly desired light and fluffy texture of a damn near illegal waffle. It also adds a slight tartness or sour flavor, very reminiscent of that famous sourdough bread we have all come to know and love.
That tartness contrasts nicely with the terpene rich pure maple syrup you will inevitably poor all over the stack of waffles that’s just sitting there in front of you nicely configured on your plate. With passion, desire and almost criminal intent one is easily driven to make another batch. Good thing that this recipe is easily doubled, isn’t it? So sit back and make your mom a few of these to get the day started.
*Important Waffle Side Note Here: Be sure to use cake flour to make your waffles. In terms of flour, it’s the lowest in protein, so there’s no risk of developing gluten. Gluten is great but not in waffles, it makes them tough. So 86 that AP flour and use cake flour instead, you will be completely satisfied with every bite.
