Waffles (or pancakes) and sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt parfait.., I look forward to lazy weekend breakfasts starting Monday morning!
I try to make weekend breakfast a little more special since everyone is pressed for time on a weekday. We enjoy eating together without rushing, or thinking about where we have to be next. I love waffles and enjoy making them right before eating so that they’re still crunchy on the outside when you bite into them.
I have always used a big Kitchenaid Professional double waffle maker that makes them bigger than my face. Sometimes though I want a smaller Eggo sized waffles to put in my son’s lunch box. I saw this Dash Waffle maker for $10 at Target and had my doubts as it’s so cheap, but also, it’s because of the price that I figured I got nothing to lose. It’s the perfect size for a breakfast sandwich (waffles, egg, sausage) so i bought it.
I’m happy to tell you that it makes good waffles and if you consider the price, it’s an excellent value for your money! My big Kitchenaid waffle maker is now reserved for when i need to make waffles real fast as it takes 1 cup of batter per waffle.
My little Dash waffle maker takes 1/8 cup batter per waffle to make the perfect crispy on the outside, tender inside waffle! I let it cook a few seconds after the ready light shuts off.
Start this the night before and you’ll have perfect waffles for breakfast the next day!
