They look delicious. How much A P flour??
Luigi, my friend gave me her extra Pizzelle maker. This Irish girl does not like the ones with anisette. Any good recipes to share?

AH, I had one just like your old one, picked it up at a yard sale years ago. It lasted til 3 years ago & stopped working. My new one makes thinner waffles, I really liked the thickness of my old one.

LOU, they look wonderful, what time is breakfast???

Kathleen, I can attest to the fact that Lous's Pizzelle's are "out of this world"!

Lucy

Now that's efficient! We prefer our waffles made ahead, frozen, and dropped into the toaster to eat. I use recipe close to Lou's and add chopped up semi-sweet chocolate to the batter.

ngraham: The Cusinart from Macy's is just about the same as my old one.
I know what you mean about the thinner ones.

Lucy : Breakfast is served here 24 hours a day.
By the way MT. Airy Casino opened.
It's only about 20 minutes from me. It is a lot closer than AC, for you.
I have a lot of room here , if you and your DH want to stay overnight.
I already have the Waffles for breakfast.

Eileen: You gave me the tip on the egg whites.
I keep changing my recipes but now I'm leaving it to rest.
Semi - Sweet Chocolate ??? Hymmmmm !!!

LOU

Oh Lou, your waffles are gorgeous! I like waffles but never thought to freeze them before....what a great idea.

Have you tried a waffle with fresh fruit and ice cream....ahhhh heaven on earth!

And pancakes you can freeze too? They don't get heavy and tough when reheated?

Michelle

Lou, I bought a waffle maker about a year ago just to make waffles to freeze for easy breakfasts. But I've only used it a few times. The waffles stuck & seemed too thin as both you & ngraham have mentioned. Are you satisfied with your new Cuisinart? I'd really like to make a pile of waffles to keep in the freezer for quick breakfasts.

Michelle: I haven't talked to you much, lately.
I do Waffles, double decker, with fruit in the middle and Whipped Cream.
Ice cream on top, covered with Strawberry Preserves.
That's my Belgium Waffle.
Don't do that too often. I'm down to 200 and want to go more.
I have more luck freezing the Waffles ,than Pancakes.
Maybe because I like them better.
I hate Waffles that become soggy, when you pour the syrup on them.
LOU

Shambo: I love the Cusinart. I don't know if Macy's still has the Sale.
Maybe someone else might know. Or you could try Amazon.
The model # is my first thead.
Lou

Thanks Lou, I may check the Cusinart out for Christmas. I like my waffle recipe, but I think I am going to give your recipe a try. I also whip my egg whites, but not in 2 parts. This may be breakfast, my taste buds are thinking waffles now.

Gee Lou,

Wish I was around the corner, could really go for some those yummy looking waffle's just about now. Thanks for the heads up about MT. Airy Casino, who knows I maybe be in the area soon : )

Lucy

lou, that's what i have, a cuisinart. i got it at one of the auctions we attended in hazelton. i love it. i used to have an old one that belonged to my dad, but the plug wasn't up to snuff and i got rid of it...sorry that i did.

i too make them and put a few away to pop in the toaster later on. i also use them under creamed chicken, like how they do in the amish diner.

my dogs love waffles!

maryanne

Oh Lou! I'm drooling! I loooove waffles but don't have a waffle maker... Not to mention that I fear if I had one I'd just gorge myself on them... But look at how perfectly browned and crispy yours are... Sigh...

Emily

Lou... Hope your birthday was nice, forgot to say hi on the birthday thread.

I have a question for you. I was given a waffle maker just like the one you have on the right. Mine only came with two legs though! The third one in the back was broken off. No wonder why it was given to me! They are rivetted on. I tried to glue craft spools on the bottom of it, but the glue melts every time I use it... and the waffle batter runs everywhere. Waffles are an all day affair in my kitchen. I know how handy you are.... do you have any suggestions on what I could do to the bottom of the appliance so that it sits level and doesn't tip over? I can take a picture if you want. Thanks for any advice you can give!

We just got a new Belgian Waffle maker and we also got two bags of Kind Arthur's Belgian Waffle mix. It is yeasty but you also beat your egg whites and fold them in at the end. I must say the waffles are heavenly!

Bobbie : If you can take a picture, it would help. Top and bottom.
Or check the Model # I'll take a look at mine,
to see if it comes apart easily.
If it is the same as mine ( Toastmaster Model 252A ),
Don't throw it away. Mine looks like it should go in the trash,
but it bakes better that any other I had before.
You might be able to use an angle bracket and put a screw into the rivet hole ,
But not too far in, to where you would hit any wires.
Cut the metal bracket leg off to the same height,
as the other legs and put a rubber boot on the bottom.
You could also use a piece of 3/4 IN. copper tubing.
Flatten one end and bend it 90 deg.
Drill a hole to put a screw thru,into the bottom of the waffle iron.
Cut the copper to the same height as the other legs.
Put a rubber boot on it, or stuff a cork in it, so it won't scratch.
It should only take 5 minutes to make the leg.
Let me know how it turns out.

Maryanne: Good thing I didn't see the one in Hazelton first.
Why didn't you put a plug on the old one ?
You woman like to throw things away.

Your Dog likes Waffles ???????????????? No Kidding !!!
Now I know why you threw the other Waffle Iron away.
Wheeee eeooooooooooooo !!!
LOU

Lou, have to say I made your waffles this morning. Got the first one out & couldn't wait to take a bite, so I poured some syrup over it & got busy. First bite, I thought-this has a really good flavor, a little tougher than mine. Probably mixed to heavily or something. As I was sitting there chewing, it hit me...I don't remember adding any baking powder. Checked the recipe, yep, I was supposed to add that :) So, I added the baking power & that made a difference. Actually, I'm amazed that they were as light as they were without the baking powder, probably due to whipping the egg whites. My wheat flour is a bit old too-I keep it in the freezer, but I'm not sure how much that will extend the life of wheat flour. I noticed the date said August... My son heartily approved of them at any rate.

VacuumF that waffle maker sounds like the one I got rid of. I found that I could turn the other two legs to the side and it helped balance the maker, hehe. Maybe there's a cement that can withstand heat so you can glue on a third leg, like a tall bottle lid, piece of block, etc. Lou, I may try your recipe in my Belgium WM next time we make them. Your waffles look yummy.

Ngraham: It's hard to blend the Baking Powder in, if the batter is thick.
That's why I put it in when there is still flour to add.
They should be light and crispy but tender, like me.
Sounds like they were good. Maybe the next batch will be great!!!

Terror pots: My Daughter uses it in her Belgium Wafflemaker.
She said they are better than mine. Guess I taught her right.
But she is wrong, because mine are the Best in the World.

Man !!! Did you hear all that mumbling and a couple of bad words.

Like I mentioned before, I don't use the Belguim Wafflemaker any more.

I think, more crust area on Baked goods,the better tasting
it will be. Like French and Italian Bread.
That's why I prefer the thinner Waffles. More cooked area.

I just stack them 2 high for a Belgium Waffle.
Everybody to their own tastes.
I think I'll taste some right now.
LOU
PS: I didn't realize it's almost 2 AM.
I'll taste them in the morming.

Lou... here's a picture or two. It works great, but I can't stand the legs melting off. I tried to glue the craft spools all around just... they are longer than the other two legs that are still on the machine so I wanted it to be even. I even tried JB Weld... it melted just as fast as the super glue. What was I thinking?

Of course the leg that is missing is the one in the back by the cord.

Hope it works... I had to sign up for picturetrail because photobucket is down right now!

Bobbie: I can see that you are not mechanically inclined.
Can you have someone drill a hole for you.
If you take the Wafflemaker to a hardware store ,
Lowes or a Home Depot, ask if there is anything metal or a
Porcelin knob with a hole thru, that is the same height as
the other legs, that you can attach, with
a screw.
The screw can go into the rivet hole where the leg broke off.

Just make sure it doesn't go in too far.
Ask for a screw the right diameter that will tighten.
A 3/4 inch copper tubing, cap would work good but
you would have to drill a hole in it to put a screw thru.
Then you could put a cork in the bottom so it won't scratch
the work top.
Don't, use anything that would burn, for a leg.
That's all the help I can give you, Good luck.
LOU

"Bobbie: I can see that you are not mechanically inclined."

INDEED! What an accurate observation! At least I gave you a chuckle :o) When I take vacuum cleaners apart, sometimes I have to throw them away because I can't get them back together.

Thanks for your expertise. I knew you would have some kind of suggestion... I don't own a drill... are power tools as fun as kitchen appliances? Maybe I'll find a man and bake him some cookies if he fixes it for me

:o)

Seriously, I'll try to follow your suggestion... maybe it will give me confidence if I'm able to do it!
