I bought my waffle maker for $1 from a garage sale about 8 years ago. It has travelled with me and made many batches of delicious waffles. I think that waffles have a reputation for being hard to make, but they aren’t any different to making a batch of pancakes. I keep the cooked waffles warm in a low oven until I’m ready to place a pile on the table, with Canadian maple syrup and bacon.
