| notice the syrup is almost empty |
For the longest time, I've avoided making waffles. Eggo has a very effective marketing machine (who doesn't know "Leggo my Eggo!"?) and a fairly decent product. Plus, I usually have a coupon for them - and you know how I love a coupon! But, I am a maple syrup snob. I want the real stuff. The never have a coupon, pay an outrageous price, delicious amber tree nectar stuff . . . only to pour it over an almost tasteless, often overly toasted, toaster waffle. I have the equipment (my darling Grandmother bought me a waffle maker years ago and it has languished in the high cabinet), the know-how (I love to bake) and now I have the desire. So I'm jumping in feet first.

| just waiting for syrup! |
I went with a mix I use for pancakes (let's not go crazy here) and just followed the instructions on the back. Four minutes (and 12 seconds) in the hot waffle iron and I had beautiful and delicious waffles. A slight crisp outer texture and a wonderfully fluffy interior. Real waffles for real maple syrup! Now, I don't think I'll be giving up Eggo's altogether - after all, they do make a mean peanut butter breakfast sandwich, but I don't think they'll be seeing my maple syrup anymore.
