I got a super duper waffle iron for Christmas from Larry’s dad. Not just any old waffle iron, but one of those cool belgian wafflers that you flip over once you add the batter. I had stuck this particular iron onto my wish list because I wanted to look at reviews, and before I could even think about whether or not I really needed a waffle iron on steroids, it was Christmas and there it was. The reviews on this waffle iron are really good so I was looking forward to using it.
I picked out a recipe from Bon Apetit. This recipe includes instructions for a glazed banana topping, but we just topped our waffles with fresh berries. The waffles were good but I thought they could be crisper. Perhaps next time I should try a yeasted batter. The instruction booklet came with a recipe, so I’ll try that next.
I’m trying out different recipes in anticipation of hosting a neighborhood Valentine’s Day brunch. I think the waffle iron will be fun for a small party.
