Biscuits on the Waffle Iron
By Pattywak
I read, on a blog that, for the life of me, I can't remember WHICH ONE
- My review of these UNUSUAL waffles ....
- they taste GREAT...
- I didn't get a sense of "taste like a biscuit to me" feeling, AT ALL. ♥
- They aren't light and fluffy like REAL waffles...
- BUT....they are REALLY tasty...and .quick...
- and I will be making these OFTEN.
- ♥
- ....AND, of course I discovered the answer to "why do this when we have frozen"...
- THESE bad boys taste a LOT better, being cooked, fresh, in a WAFFLE IRON,
- than the frozen ones, dropped into a TOASTER.
- Cheaper, probably...altho I don't know that for sure. I have NOT done any price comparisons....
- that's NOT MY FIELD. lol
- Just look how pretty those waffles are....♪♪♫
- do they LOOK like a biscuit to you ?
