Description:

Back when I was single, I bought a waffle iron from a second hand store and had a number of misadvantures with it before ultimately giving up. Eventually, Lee-Anne discovered it and made it work for her. 

Originally she was more of a pancake person but she converted to waffles after her mother made them for her using a similar recipe. This inspired her to experiment with my iron, and now this is a specialty dish of hers.

I've always been on team waffle. The pockets in the checkered pattern allow it to cradle syrup in a way that pancakes just can't. I have more confidence in my ability to make pancakes, and they're easier to make in bulk, but waffles just feel a bit more complete and intentional.

 When I took the photo, I didn't realize I had the knife handle balanced on the waffle. Very annoying, I should no better than to get the knife syrupy.

Lee-Anne used 50% whole wheat flour with the all purpose flour. It worked out well
