I enjoy cooking a special breakfast on Sundays. When I can manage the time, I pull down the waffle iron off the highest shelf in the kitchen and give it a spin. It only happens about once a year, maybe twice. That makes it even more special.
It takes a little patience but it’s definitely worth the time and effort. Frozen waffles off the shelf pale in comparison in terms of flavor–not to mention most brands are extremely high in sodium.
To keep the waffles warm and crispy I lay them directly on the oven rack at about 275 degrees while the rest of the waffles bake on the iron one at a time. I freeze any leftovers for popping in the toaster on those busy weekday mornings. It helps remind me the weekend is just a few days away.
I love a crispy waffle with nice deep pockets to hold all the yummy toppings. These waffles are perfectly sweet addition to my brunch menu.
