Brussels waffles

various dates

Brussels waffles are made with a yeast-leavened batter, which makes them lighter and crispier. They are rectangular with defined edges, and they have deeper pockets or holes than American pancakes.

• Preferably use the deep 4x6 (M001 - single waffle) grid grid for this. (Pic2)
  
• The 2 x 4x7 American waffle grid (M002) is usable for this, but the result won't be nearly as nice.
  The M002 makes 2 (smaller) waffles simultaneously, which makes it the preferred plate for family cooking.
