Perhaps it may be just be, but it seams like the quality of waffles has dropped around us. Everybody is trying to ether be to fancy, and do it wrong, or too cheap, and you never get anywhere that way. Over brunch Sunday morning Jess and I had this little conversation. And, she brought a nice little solution to the table. There was a book, which she had when she was a wee little girl, she told me, that had the best recipe for waffles she ever ate. Curious, I honored the request to prepare them, but the book had to be found. The title: Alpha-Bakery Children’s Cookbook by Gold Medal Flour.

The result: I think her memory was right on. perfect.
