That would be the preferred recipe. However, I'll just get a box of
pancake mix and add water and oil. It comes out ok by me. Your method is
probably better.

i'm pretty sure 'making bacon' has been around a long time.

college almost forty years ago.

Is the usage "making bacon" meaning sex original to the Simpsons or was
it a known euphemism before?
------------------------------------------------
I sure hope Homer wasn't fanticizing about making love to Maggie, she's
his daughter. His wife is Marge.

Many years before the Simpsons were on the scene, I remember a cartoon
of 2 pigs having sex, with a caption that read, "Making Bacon". the
Simpson's didn't invent the saying.

My wife's grandmother - born 1890 passed on 1996 - gave me the maker along
with some other kitchen stuff a long time ago.

It served me well for another 10 years. I need to do some rewiring.

I'll have to see if mom has her old waffle iron.

That site wants $225 for one that looks just like it.

Since when did garage sale stuff become
collectible antiques?

I would like to apologize to the group about my mistaking Maggie for
Marge. I also think my recollection of what Homer pictured in his
mind was also mistaken.

Um, back to the waffling, I baked some bread last night and for fun I
pulled a bit of dough flat and round and laid it into the waffle
maker. Mmmmm...crispy chewy bread waffle. <in Homer's voice>

Dang, but this sounds rather interesting! Interesting enough to try

Sky

P.S. I have 2 or 3 waffle irons, received as gifts over the years, and
seldom used ;/

I wonder how chocolate cake batter would do in a waffle iron.
That might just make me LIKE waffles, deep chocolate with whipped cream
instead of maple syrup--or maybe maple flavored whipped cream?
That sounds promising.

With chocolate waffles, I'd go with a sour-cherry/almond or an orange-pecan
topping, or something along those lines.

At any rate, adapted from _The Big Book of Breakfast_, here's a recipe for
chocolate waffles:

Chocolate Waffles

Pam® or some equivalent oil spray
2 large eggs
1/2 cup melted butter [1]
1 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder [2]
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat waffle iron and spray lightly with Pam®.

Separate the eggs.[3]

Whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter. Add sugar and whisk
until sugar is dissolved.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together. Add to
egg-milk mixture and whisk until just smooth. Gently fold in the beaten egg
whites.

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto waffle iron.[4] Close lid and bake
until steam stops and waffle is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove waffle and
repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with your choice of
toppings.

BOB'S NOTES:
1. The book says you can also use margarine or vegetable oil. I don't
recommend either.

2. If you use Dutch-processed cocoa powder, your waffles will be a darker
chocolate color and have a somewhat mellower taste. If you use "normal"
cocoa powder, they'll be a little reddish and have a bit more "bite".

3. The recipe doesn't have you separate the eggs, it just has you beat the
eggs until foamy and then whisk in everything else. But I think the
technique outlined above gives you a much better texture.

4. The book says "Pour 1/4 cup batter onto waffle iron," but that doesn't
make sense to me because the appropriate amount of batter will depend on the
size of your waffle iron.

For a long long time.

It's where I get most of my Cast Iron Cookware, Bread Machine, etc.etc.
