Excellent suggestion Annie. If you want to cut back the syrup (real of course) even further you can dip your fork into it rather than your waffle just like with salad and dressing. Syrup is nice and thick so it clings pretty well.

You can also make whole grain or partially whole grain waffles. If you've never had them start with partially whole grain and slowly alter the ratio until you get to fully whole grain. It eases the transition. I'm ok with whole grain but my family is not there yet. : )

when I use to make for family I only used 1 egg, and water instead of milk. I also warmed syp. it takes less to cover cakes we never use butter. Pam has butter flavor pan spray.
Now I'm old n Lazy I use premade pre package frozen waffles that stores offer.
I also buy pre made plastic clear bags of bisq.'s.
bake 1 or as many as you wish at to have each time you want.
Just a through. pour syp on hot cake llet is stand for 1 to 5 seconds then hold up to let most of syp to drain/dip off.
My weakness is open face bisw with white sauage gravey, n lrg cup of coffee, yumm
In 30 & 50tys people would pour waek left over of the day coffee on to bisq. that is the poorest of poors man meal. it served it purpose.
does anyone remember potato soup. 1 r 2 potatoes for potatoe soup, to feed family of 4 - 6. Never give a slave a whole potatoe nor a potato n bisq. I recall my family assistance with under ground.
will any who
for late lunch I might have 2 waffles and berrys. I hope I still have some blue berry in freezer. yummy

My wife and MIL really like pancakes. So when we have them, sigh, I go for butter, strawberry preserves and syrup.

Sigh, and I wonder why I slip and gain weight???

Waffles are like the clouds in the heavens of breakfast. Add the glow of a thin layer of butter and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Hey, if I can't devour a waffle this very moment, I don't mind stopping by and giving a quick tribute among fellow waffle

Waffles are like the clouds in the heavens of breakfast. Add the glow of a thin layer of butter and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Hey, if I can't devour a waffle this very moment, I don't mind stopping by and giving a quick tribute among fellow waffle lovers. (Just got done with a 45 minute run and it's almost midnight here...no waffles in my immediate future!). Nice suggestions for enjoying waffles responsibly.

"enjoying waffles responsibly" LOL! I tried sugar free syrup, but it was nasty. Nothing like the real thing. Now I want waffles...

Eggos -- Chocolate chip ones are just as good. Put a pat of butter on it, and even better.

An add popped up on side screen area. yep of sweets. I must say the advertizment of fudge with chocolate being pour on it, caught my eye.
I also like the food ad of baked potatoe covered w butter...
Will thank God green leaf salads keep me feeling full 24/6
with enough salad intake, at night I nolonger dream of food. I no longer day dream about food. but oh my gosh, the @#$% advertizment's.

dang on other side of this page is another ad for fudge cake, dang.
yep after that I'm having leaf salad w banana n cup of coffee.
spring is so near. looking forward to getting outside n working in garden.

I use diet syrup, the lowest I can find and I also use pam, bisquick low calorie with egg beaters... now you can eat them with out the guilt. Use zero cal I can believe its not butter spray. also big tip mix angel food cake mix with any other cake mix, use 3 tbsp mix to 2 tbsp water and set it in either micro wave or waffle iron... cake with low calories. the mix will stay fresh in your jar till the next time.
