It's been awhile...

I have been fighing internet issues lately.  Technology is wonderful when it works and pretty frustrating when it doesn't. 

Of course, just because I couldn't post doesn't mean I haven't been cooking.  I love my Wildtree products even more.  Here are just a few samples of what I have made.



I woke up yesterday craving light, fluffy waffles that are nice and crispy on the outside.  Wildtree has a Buttermilk pancake recipe that I altered for waffles.  (waffles need more eggs and more oil so that they crisp on the outside).


These were just what I wanted, though I cam to the realization that I need a new waffle iron.  The one that I have does not allow for the waffles to fluff up and the top does not stay secure so the tops of the waffles did not get as done as I would have liked.  I also learned that I need to let them cool on wire cookie racks so they don't get soggy when they "sweat" while cooling down.  Any good ideas on waffle makers?  I am thinking of going back to the Beligium waffle makers.  They have them at Sams, the same one tht you find at hotels.  Very heavy duty.  I will have to check that out.  In the meantime, I made a double batch of waffles so now I have some in the freezer, ready to pop in the toaster!
