    Years ago, when we all lived at home with Mom and Daddy, one Sunday night Mom made chicken and waffles for supper. (A Pa. Dutch meal, creamed chicken, or turkey, ladled onto hot waffles) As the 7 of us were finishing up someone suggested getting out the syrup to finish with a sweet so the syrup (Karo) was set on the table. Then someone suggested waffles and ice cream. Mom mixed up yet another batch and we finished the meal with ice cream and home canned fruit on top of the waffles. It was a memorable meal!

      That’s how we always are waffles (Yes, I’m from Pa). Another one is for dessert, a nice warm waffle (Belgium, if you make them) and 2 scoops of your favorite ice cream (kinda partial to chocolate). Let the heat of the waffle soften the ice cream a little bit so that you can mush the ice cream over the waffle so you get a bite of ice cream with each bite of waffle. I was a graveyard cook at a truck stop for many years. I would eat my shift meal when I was done my shift. I got so many drivers starting to order this because they were trying to figure out what I was eating.

      My mother was from Alabama, but we live in NY state. So I'd go to elementary school and say things like, "I had biscuits and sorghum for breakfast." or "We had sweet potato pie." I got weird looks, but I knew those things were delicious and I still make them today. And red velvet cake - not with a cream cheese frosting, but with this really buttery one. With all the red velvet craze the last few years, I just shake my head and think, they've got the wrong frosting.

    Fun fact:
    Chicken and waffles isn't a southern dish...it originated in the north...by the Dutch immigrants settling in the New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey area... some say it was by the late night jazz players/singers in the clubs not being able to decide at the end of their late night gigs, whether they wanted savory dinner or sweet breakfast...so they fixed both

The last ones I made were "Cheese, garlic, jalapeno waffle bowls that I then put tuna salad into. But chili would work good too. Almost anything you can think of that's chopped up small can be added into the batter though.
    (Just like bread.)
    The only thing that matters is making sure you keep the batter at the right consistency.

    Great video!! I have been freezing waffles for years to heat and eat. The grand kids like them as a quick snack. But the few years now I have been making protein waffles. You use 6 eggs, 2 cups of dry oatmeal, 2 cups of cottage cheese (I use the 4%) 1/2 tsp salt and a little vanilla (optional). blend in blender until smooth, (this works better if you layer the ingredients) and make like regular waffles. I usually end up with 10 4" waffles. It comes out to be 10g of protein per waffle. I eat at least 1 a day sometimes 2 for my protein. They are not a light and fluffy as Cindy's recipe but for the protein they are great. I freeze two per quart bag and just toast in toaster.

    Waffles are definitely amazing and very versatile. I like to dip Nettles (or whatever you like) into the batter, top it off with a little more to even out , and this makes a tasty green waffle "sandwich." Thanks for all you do.

King Aurthur has an excellent sourdough waffle recipe. I use a similar one replacing the buttermilk with 1 1/2 cups of water when I don't have buttermilk. I also use Liquid Organic Refined Coconut Oil (is flavorless) for the oil used in my recipe. Also works well with Egg Replacement powder for those who like to avoid eggs.
    I prefer my round shaped waffle iron because they are easier to remove from the waffle iron.

    I've never tried it but the idea came to me while watching.... mix in some canned chicken into the batter and have chicken waffles! If you want a topping of your choice then that'll be great too. I see it like this: when we fry chicken we use flour or some sort of batter. So a chicken waffle to me is just another cooking version of fried chicken and still have the crispiness, I'd add gravy on top of mine and have a potato waffle to boot! I've watched videos on all kinds of thing that can be cooked in a waffle iron, like hamburgers and cheese, ham waffles, scrambled egg, cheese and ham waffle (no batter). It may not be your thing, but I'd try it to have something different and yes I'm a southerner. You don't have to be from a certain area to like things from another area of the country. The possibilities are endless if you think outside of the box.
