My favorite meal is breakfast, but unfortunately on most mornings it is a rushed bowl of cereal. Well, no more! I had a free morning and decided to attempt waffles--waffles not made with a mix. The recipe said it would make 3 waffles...I got about 10. Luckily, they freeze well and that means toasting a frozen waffle is as easy as pouring a bowl of cereal! And another reason to love these waffles even more: I don't need syrup! I drench pancakes and waffles in syrup, but these taste so good with frozen yogurt that no syrup is needed, saving my coronary arteries :)
