Waffle Iron Heaven |
|
Toaster waffles may be easy, but nothing beats the flavor of a big, steamy, fluffy waffle made fresh on a waffle iron. For years, waffles have held a special place at breakfast tables and buffet bars. You can start the day with waffles drenched in butter and syrup, enjoy them for dessert with ice cream and berries, or even try them at dinner time covered in gravy. To a true waffle lover, any time is the right time for this tasty, golden treat. For many years, people around the world have relied on the waffle as a dietary staple. Past generations created waffles by baking barley batter in a crude iron griddle to make a toasted cake. Things quickly progressed from there. Curious cooks began to experiment with ingredients and baking methods. It was popular, at one time, to bake the family crest into the waffles. Every generation has enjoyed easier waffle-making as technology has improved, recipes were perfected and new gadgets created. With a good recipe for batter and a proper waffle iron, you can easily make delicious home made waffles. Every waffle iron consists of a basic design. Two metal plates are hinged at a centre point. These metal plates are heated, and the batter is poured onto the bottom plate. Then, the top plate is folded over to create an "oven" to bake the batter. Traditional waffle irons were flame heated. Using attached tongs, the batter-filled iron was held over an open flame to bake the waffles. Most of today's cooks use electric waffle irons that are easier to clean and store, and much simpler to use. Waffle irons come in a variety of sizes, and the indentations on the surface of the baking plates can come in a variety of shapes. You can shop around to find waffles decorated in squares, triangles or circles. You can serve heart-shaped waffles on Valentine Day, or treat your kids to waffles baked with images of their favorite cartoon characters. Some waffle irons have removable plates that allow you to change the design of your waffles to suit the occasion. One of the most popular waffles today is the Belgian Waffle. Waffle lovers discovered these delicious treats around 1965. Since then, people have devoured them at mealtime, snack time and at carnivals. Belgian waffles are baked using special irons that have deeper indentations on the plates. The result is wonderful, deep crevices that hold fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, and even chocolate chips. Why reach into a box of frozen waffles when it's so easy to make homemade? Buy a waffle iron and treat yourself to the aroma and flavor of fresh-baked treats. You'll never reach for the toaster again!
