    buckwheat waffles

    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.

      These are so great, especially in the little farm animal shapes! I think I do need to try the buckwheat version!

      Oh I love the waffle shapes! Where on earth did you find a waffle maker that makes shapes? My son would be in hog heaven if I made his waffles with something like that! How creative, and they look delicious!

      Hi Heather! The waffle iron 'cheeps' too when the waffles are done. It is made by Villaware and I bought it at Stonewall Kitchen a couple of years ago (maybe 2). I did a quick internet sweep before posting and it appears it is no longer made. Time to get resourceful! Maybe contacting Villaware or checking eBay? It's worth it if you can find it.
