I’m making waffles for breakfast. It seemed a tease to tempt you with my farm waffles when I can’t invite you over so I wanted to share a few great waffle recipes to grace your Sunday morning breakfast table. A step away from the norm, with big wholesome flavors.
Both recipes serve 4-6

Unfortunately I bought it a number of years ago and when I last checked for someone one a couple of years ago it was no longer being sold.
