Simple Waffle Recipe

Now pancakes are good, but waffles are just so much better. That crunchy outside and the soft fluffy interior. The way it gently cradles the melting butter.

It’s really like a big edible bowl for any tasting filling you can dream up! Whipped cream, curds, fresh fruit, compotes, or apple pie filling. …
