These waffles are a tradition in our house. I make them every year for the girl’s birthday and we always make them when company comes to spend the night. We love to make our guests feel pampered and these delicious waffles are just part of the way we do it. These are good with hot real maple syrup, with fresh berries and whipped cream or even a powdered sugar sprinkling on top. For company, we like to serve them with an omelet ( you have to try our chili cheese omelet ) so that people have a choice if they want sweet or savory when they are here. We serve buffet style so everyone can have what they want.

Waffles being made of flour are going to be a higher carbohydrate option for breakfast. We believe in making every dish more healthy.
