I had to put my older-than-dirt waffle iron to good use this morning!

Let me tell you, it is awesome!

Unfortunately, there was a bit of a learning curve...

My first waffles were somewhat less-than-perfect...

Let's just say, I was impatient. I did not let the iron heat up all the way first, and then I checked on them too often.

By the third waffle though, I had it down. You have to:

• Let the iron heat up!!
• Put enough butter in the pan.
• Do not check them too much! (Seriously, let it be!)
• Do not flip too early.
• Use a timer to make yourself wait! (For some reason, 30 seconds seems to feel like 10 minutes when you are waiting on that waffle!)

Mainly just boils down to patience.

Once you get it right, they are fabulous!

Here is the recipe I used, in case anyone is interested. It is just a basic waffle, comes out very well every time.
I'm sure we got it off the internet long ago, but now I just have it written in a notebook, so I don't know who the original author was...

Waffles!

Ingredients
2C flour
1T baking powder
2T sugar
1/2t salt
2 eggs
1 2/3C milk
1/3C vegetable oil
1t vanilla
1t maple extract

Directions

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Mix wet ingredients.
• Gently combine wet and dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
• Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions.

This made 5 large waffles in my iron, so you may need to double, depending on your waffle consumption.

So, to anyone who was wondering how well an old-style iron would work on a glass-top stove, I can assure you, it works quite well!
I had my doubts, but after being told by other people that it worked for them, I am SO glad I gave it a try!

Waffles will never be the same around here again!

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed! ♥
