Finally! One of my lovely friends, Sarah Colby, gave me my first waffle iron! How happy am I? Waffles are finally within reach! Waffle and pancake batter is fairly simple, so it only took me one sojourn to create a wonderful waffle batter. Do you have a pancake batter you trust? All you need to do is double or triple the amount of butter in the recipe. Extra fat allows for the fluffiness that the waffles need to be a beautiful vehicle for your sauces.
