The Tasty Treat Of Delicious Waffles

by Ben Cook

A breakfast that will be eaten quicker than can be put on
the plate is waffles. A hearty weekend fare, this type of
breakfast item will surely please any palate. There are many
different types of waffles that can be created. Sit the
family down and make some for the weekend.

Waffles are made on waffle irons. The batter consists of
eggs, flour, oil, milk, sugar and baking powder. A person
can always add to this base mix. Some additions that could
make them special are chocolate chips, coconut, chopped
nuts, applesauce, pumpkin, blueberries, strawberries or even
banana slices. Just add this right into the batter.

Once the batter is made, about a cup is poured onto the hot
waffle iron. It is easy to find many different types of
irons in the stores today. A regular iron will create a
waffle about one inch thick and round. It will give the
diner about four pieces of waffle.

The Belgium waffle iron is a favorite of many. It is
thicker. The waffle will be approximately two inches thick.
There is also a bigger waffle iron. This makes waffle
squares that are about twelve inches by twelve inches. These
waffles are a big square that can be pulled apart into four
smaller squares. Most irons take almost five minutes to cook
each one.

Removing waffles used to be a true headache in the past.
Waffles would stick and make quite a mess. With the
invention of Teflon, waffles have come a long way. They
easily remove from the iron.

Topping a waffle is always fun. Put on your thinking cap and
get together some delicious toppings. Of course you may
always put the maple syrup and butter on them. It is very
good. However, for the thrill seekers, try topping the
waffle with whipped topping and sprinkles, sliced fruit or
even chocolate pieces. As for syrups, there are many in the
stores to choose from. There are maple, sugar free,
strawberry or blueberry syrups to try.

If you want to please and surprise your family with a
weekend treat, try waffles. They could be made traditionally
or very fancy. They are cheap to make and chances are all
the supplies are in your pantry. Add some toppings and
voila, a delicious breakfast.
