    Years ago, when we all lived at home with Mom and Daddy, one Sunday night Mom made chicken and waffles for supper. (A Pa. Dutch meal, creamed chicken, or turkey, ladled onto hot waffles) As the 7 of us were finishing up someone suggested getting out the syrup to finish with a sweet so the syrup (Karo) was set on the table. Then someone suggested waffles and ice cream. Mom mixed up yet another batch and we finished the meal with ice cream and home canned fruit on top of the waffles. It was a memorable meal!

      That’s how we always are waffles (Yes, I’m from Pa). Another one is for dessert, a nice warm waffle (Belgium, if you make them) and 2 scoops of your favorite ice cream (kinda partial to chocolate). Let the heat of the waffle soften the ice cream a little bit so that you can mush the ice cream over the waffle so you get a bite of ice cream with each bite of waffle. I was a graveyard cook at a truck stop for many years. I would eat my shift meal when I was done my shift. I got so many drivers starting to order this because they were trying to figure out what I was eating.

      My mother was from Alabama, but we live in NY state. So I'd go to elementary school and say things like, "I had biscuits and sorghum for breakfast." or "We had sweet potato pie." I got weird looks, but I knew those things were delicious and I still make them today. And red velvet cake - not with a cream cheese frosting, but with this really buttery one. With all the red velvet craze the last few years, I just shake my head and think, they've got the wrong frosting.

He is now in college and a very good cook. When he comes home, he stocks up the freezer with our favorite savory waffle that has cheese broccoli and red peppers. It's a gift he leaves me with whenever he heads back to school. You can use pretty much any veggie to make a complete vegetarian meal. We often serve it with aioli or a white sauce like bechamel. SO GOOD!

    I have a 'Waffle bowl' maker that I love experimenting with for different variations and flavors of waffles. The last ones I made were "Cheese, garlic, jalapeno waffle bowls that I then put tuna salad into. But chili would work good too. Almost anything you can think of that's chopped up small can be added into the batter though.
    (Just like bread.)
    The only thing that matters is making sure you keep the batter at the right consistency.
    I've made waffles with fruit (or fruit spread), peanut butter waffles, grated cheese and spices, Garlic waffles (for sandwiches or gravy over top) and even waffles with potato flakes, cheese and garlic mixed in the batter.
    Versatile is right!!❤

    Great video!! I have been freezing waffles for years to heat and eat. The grand kids like them as a quick snack. But the few years now I have been making protein waffles. You use 6 eggs, 2 cups of dry oatmeal, 2 cups of cottage cheese (I use the 4%) 1/2 tsp salt and a little vanilla (optional). blend in blender until smooth, (this works better if you layer the ingredients) and make like regular waffles. I usually end up with 10 4" waffles. It comes out to be 10g of protein per waffle. I eat at least 1 a day sometimes 2 for my protein. They are not a light and fluffy as Cindy's recipe but for the protein they are great. I freeze two per quart bag and just toast in toaster.

    I have an old Suzanne Somers waffle iron that I liked so well I gave one to my son's family and they liked it also. I love strawberries and whip cream over waffles,
    as well as maple syrup. We make our own syrup.
    Back in the old days when I ate meat, we had sausage, eggs, ham, bacon, cheese in various combinations.

      Similar to Yorkshire pudding and gravy then. Salt and bit of black pepper in the mixture I would recommend. Yorkshire pudding is done in the oven so it rises. No baking powder or soda. Sausages in it is toad in the hole. Sliced sausages should work in your version ❤

    Being a Northerner, Waffles are breakfast food only, maybe leftovers as a (crisped) snack. Pumpkin is fabulous & always good in freezer for toasted fast-food. 1973 the very best Betty Crocker.

I guess its because we are a "melting pot" country. We have ancestors from all sorts of countries around the world.

    My husband eats my sourdough waffles nearly every morning until I need to make a new freezer batch. He raves about them. I keep a well stocked pantry with Costcos pure Maple Syrup . King Aurthur has an excellent sourdough waffle recipe. I use a similar one replacing the buttermilk with 1 1/2 cups of water when I don't have buttermilk. I also use Liquid Organic Refined Coconut Oil (is flavorless) for the oil used in my recipe. Also works well with Egg Replacement powder for those who like to avoid eggs.
    I prefer my round shaped waffle iron because they are easier to remove from the waffle iron.

    Betty Crocker is tried and true. I still use those cookbooks all the time when I’m looking for a recipe and she rarely steers me wrong. Good for basic recipes and I occasionally alter them to suit our tastes.
    PS my mom often laid a cooked slice or two of bacon in the waffle batter and then cooked in the waffle iron and that was such a treat. Delicious. Much like your ham & cheese waffle sandwich. We had the old fashioned iron that cooked on the stovetop and you had to flip the iron over. I wish I still had that one.
