So I turned to the internet to see what recipes were available. The true Belgian Waffle recipe sort of goes like this: A little flour, some butter, baking powder, more butter, buttermilk, butter, vanilla, and butter. mix ingredients, grease the iron with butter, and cook. You can add other things like chocolate chips, or blueberries, but then you have to use more butter.
Well, I decided that since I am fat enough ( and not that short), I would look for a fat free recipe. This way I could invite Soupeater over to try them, and I look like a wonderful host. The problem with the fat free recipes is that most are on vegan websites, and the vegans are all nuts. They have recipes, but they won't use any animal product, there was actually a reference to bee vomit, which I assumed was honey. However, the recipe looked better than the one with cider vinegar, an old nemesis of mine, so I decided to make that one using the animal by product, as well as reduced fat milk instead of soy milk. ( I had fat free, but wanted to try it.)
Made the batter, turned on the machine, followed the directions, and here is the result of the first foray into waffleland.
I then made a second one, since they don't recommend you actually eat the first one ( just post it to the web, apparently), and I deem the adventure a qualified success. The waffle looks like a waffle, the kitchen did not blow up, and it was indeed edible, but it tasted a lot like apples, since there is apple sauce and apple juice in the recipe. I will keep looking for one that is relatively low fat but not fruit inspired.
In the mean time, Come on over for some waffles, no need to even speak Flemish.

I'm so glad your hard earned waffle maker turned out so well! I guess you're not going to return it now!
When do we get stew...with all those crockpots?????
a shiur I went to refered to your 6 hour pursuit of a waffle iron as avoda zara.
That is the one of the dumbest knee jerk spins I've ever heard. I wait an entire year to shop for certain items, and I save 40-50%, if not more. I wonder if the person who made that statement has the same kind of self control when it comes to shopping.
Obviously, its not about just the waffle iron, that was one small purchase in a productive day which will free up more time for learning, of course
I like big sis's thinking. Avoda Zara it is! Especially after the recipe hunt guided you toward non kosher internet recipes! You never know where all this can lead. Chas V'sholom, it can lead to eating treyfus!
If you weed out my comment and don't approve it, it'll almost be like borrer, another potentially grave avaira. I think you should give up waffles and stay frum.
That looks really good. I didn't even notice the cheap waffle irons in the black friday circulars. Probably bk that would mean I would have to make waffles and find a place to put the new waffle iron. (Though I did score a cheap griddle which i am now looking for a place to store)
Dipsy-
Did it not make super pancakes? They come out so round when there is no pan lip to get around, and the heat is evenly distributed!
PLEASE, I can't get into another electric device folks!
use of apple sauce should be natural and no sweetner vanila sugar helps so does xxx sugar on top. there cannot be any avoda zora, (zora as in strange) because looking for bargains is not strange at all and especially not for members of the tribe. Therefor in the name of kibud aim one can assume that you will resume the same activity next year IY"H and come up with even better bargains as practice makes perfect related
