Just a dad who makes weekly waffles...FOR SCIENCE.
Having spent three wakes experimenting with savory waffles, I opted to go sweet with some cinnamon vanilla buttermilk waffles.
I go all-in on a double batch of the Potato Skin Waffles and a single batch of my new Croque Monsieur Waffles.
I find success in a second attempt at savory waffles, making Potato Skin Waffles which are Bacon, Cheddar, and Scallion Waffles (no potato).
Trying to find a good savory waffle recipe, I experiment with a Cheddar Cornbread Waffle topped with Scrambled Eggs.
After trying the the last recipe until I got it right, I wanted to switch it up for my next batch. This time, I decided to try my hand at a classic: the Buttermilk Waffle.
So after tripping breakers and setting off a smoke alarm, for my third outing as Waffle Dad I decided that come hell or high water, I would do this week’s waffles RIGHT.
In which I perform an unintended experiment and set off my fire alarm.
Having committed to becoming Waffle Dad, I needed to…you know, learn how to make waffles. So I started with this excellent recipe with a long pedigree of adaption, to which I added nothing but my own foibles. The result? Excellent, tasty waffles that resisted even my strongest efforts to screw them up.
So as is traditional for these kind of things, this is my official “Hello, World!” post. I’m Chris, and I’m the Waffle Dad. There’s a bunch of things that I could say about myself, but really the tagline kind of sums up what this site is about. I’m a dad – well, technically I’m going to be a dad very soon – who has made a commitment to make waffles every week for his family. Mind you, I know pretty much nothing about making waffles.
The tagline kind of says it all – my name is Chris, and I’m just a dad who has committed to making waffles every Sunday for my family.
