I got a lot of great kitchen toys for Christmas. One of my new gadgets is a Belgian waffle iron. Score! With their crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior, Belgian waffles rule over all other waffles. I have been madly in love with Belgian waffles since my freshman year of college. Cue television time travel music...Ah, freshman year. You're on your own for the first time. You're meeting new people. And the dorm dining center has Belgian waffle makers you can use to whip up your very own fresh waffles every morning. What a magical time!
I tested out my new appliance the first weekend I had at home. And for her maiden batch of waffles, I wanted to make sure I had the perfect waffle recipe. And for the best recipes, I always turn to Cook's Illustrated. Sure enough, in the May/June 2010 issue, I found a great recipe for buttermilk waffles.
