Homemade Toaster Waffles

I checked the price of Eggo waffles the other day at Walmart, just for curiosity.  I was shocked!  It was about $4 for 10 waffles and they don't even taste very good.  I usually make waffles on a Saturday morning when I'm ready to deep clean my kitchen.  I triple the batch and just keep cooking while I'm cleaning.  As soon as they come out of the iron, I lay them single layer on a cookie sheet to keep them from getting flattened.  Then I set the entire sheet in the deep freeze.  In about an hour they are ready to move to freezer baggies.  They are fairly safe from flattening at this point, though a lot of pressure would do the trick.  On busy mornings, it's easy to pop a few in the toaster for a hot family breakfast.

    I just had to try this for breakfast today. Only 2 left for the freezer : ) But our family enjoyed the change from pancakes. Now to clean the kitchen and make lunch.

    What waffle iron do you have? I’ve tried this before, but the waffle iron either burned them to a crisp or they were gooey in the middle. Could be the recipe I used before, but I’d love a recommendation.

      Sarah,
      I have a cheap iron from Wal-mart, (I think it was $6 when I married about 11 years ago.) I did find I needed to spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray more often than with a high fat batter.
