My waffle machine was such a novelty when I got it first. It was all I wanted for breakfast. Fast forward almost a year later and it probably only gets used once or twice a month. I definitely couldn’t have decided between a waffle and a pancake back then, the two were my on a par in terms of breakfast superiority!
A weird way to start a post about waffles as opposed to pancakes right!?
Well these waffles stole my heart. I’m going to say they’re better than pancakes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the thick fluffiness and crisp exterior. They are best eaten fresh but you can stick them back into the waffle iron for a few minutes to crisp them back up. I have tried sticking these and other precooked waffles into the toaster but 9 times out 10 its ended in some burning, not inedible, luckily I’ve got them in time and I have quite a high tolerance rate when it comes to charred food!
I would say give them a couple of minutes less time. They’re cooked through, at least in my waffle iron, after 7 to 8 minutes and then I usually leave it in there for another 2 or 3 for crispiness sake.
It’s definitely been pumpkin overload around here, pumpkin breakfast overload but I just went with what my heart was calling! Sweet treats and some savoury recipes are coming your way soon. I do feel I’ve been out of my groove and routine over the past couple of weeks with family things going on in the background and I admittedly I feel a tad uneasy about it. When I feel uneasy these days I try to embrace it and figure out why. It’s an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and discover why we have and how the controls work in our lives to uncover some new inner strength we didn’t know existed. I’m a thinker, if you follow me on Instagram you’ll be well aware!

Pour batter into the waffle iron. Mine accommodates the whole amount but judge it according to your own.

I tend to cook mine for a further 2-3 minutes to crisp it up a little further.
