Weekend Waffles
Crispy-outside, fluffy-inside Belgian-style waffles made from scratch. The secret is whipped egg whites folded into the batter and a very hot waffle iron. Serve with butter and maple syrup for a classic breakfast-for-dinner night, or set out fruit, whipped cream, and chocolate chips for a topping bar.

Parent noteWaffles with maple syrup are one of the highest-acceptance breakfast-for-dinner options. The topping bar adds engagement. Keep waffles in a 200°F oven on a rack (not stacked) so they stay crispy. Contains gluten, dairy, and egg.
