We’ve built a tradition in our household – waffles on Saturday mornings when the grandkids are here. Thinking that they may want more variety I’d ask, “What would you like for breakfast?” and get the same reply every time, “Grandma we want waffles!” They are happy with the basic topping of maple syrup, however you may want to be creative and add powdered sugar, fresh strawberries, bananas or other fruit then top it off with a dollop of whipped cream. You can even make a batch of chocolate waffles and freeze them to reheat later and top with ice cream.

It’s important to use a “waffle” recipe and not pancake batter when making waffles. Pancake batter doesn’t usually require oil but waffles do – that is what gives waffles the golden brown crispy texture. It may also help prevent them from sticking, although if you’re not using a non-stick waffle iron I suggest using an oil spray to make sure. The aroma of freshly baked waffles in the morning is so alluring to the senses it makes your mouth water with anticipation.
