Wonderful Waffles

Just recently Paula and I were in San Diego, and part of the complimentary breakfast at the Holiday Inn Hotel were waffles and maple syrup. 

The waffle mixture was placed on the bench in a large bowl with a jug that held the correct amount of mixture to make one waffle.  This was poured onto the heated waffle iron and within moments a fluffy, golden brown waffle was ready.  Once the maple syrup was added, the dish was complet and ready to eat.

 Up until this point in time I hadn’t really considered the mouth watering temptation of waffles, for breakfast. My only encounter with the humble waffle had been at McDonalds one morning, and the result was less than inspiring.

Now I am a waffle convert. So I had to send off and get a waffle iron so that I could make this delicacy for my family. I live in a rural area so buying online makes my life easy.  It’s just a matter of selecting the items that suit my lifestyle and once I have paid through the secure payment system that most online stores have nowadays, I just sit back and wait for the item to arrive. Easy.

After careful consideration of the different types of waffle irons available, I settled on the Professional Rotary Belgian Waffle Maker. simply because of all the great features. It is similar to ones used in restaurants and has a rotary feature that flips the wall without you having to open the lid. The thermostate and browning dial let you control the shade of the waffle to your preference and the timer beeps when the cooking surface has reached the optimal cooking temperature and when the waffle is done.

It cooks waffles that are 1 1/4″ thick and 7″ in diameter and I like the brushed stainles steel exterior.

However, this was just my personal preference and other waffle irons work just as well.There are a number of styles  of Waffle Irons available so it is just a matter of selecting one that suits your family’s needs and budget.
