After a long string of eating out, I have not been cooking as much as I’d like to. However, over the weekend, burgergal and I decided that it was time for pancakes. Time for easy pancakes. The type that you just add water to.
I know, not very b4b style, but hey, they are quick and tasty.
On this Saturday morning, however, I wanted something different. I wanted waffles. But I don’t have a waffle maker…
until now.
I do have a foreman grill. And no, it’s not the fancy kind that has replaceable plates. I just have an old school one that has not been used in around five years. After a thorough washing, the only issue that existed was the slant of the plates. An obvious fix was propping that bad boy up.
A measuring cup and a moist paper towel, done. Now, a quick mix of Aunt Jemima complete pancake mix and a little oil, we were ready to go.
Thinking that the plates would be too close together if there weren’t any spacers, I rolled up some aluminum foil and put it on the sides. I told you these were budget waffles. I put the lid down, waited a few minutes, and then I had these.
After a few minutes between the plates of the Foreman, you have an interestingly shaped, slightly shaped ruffled pancake. But it TASTED like a waffle, and that is all that really matters. With a little fresh maple syrup from Vermont, it was all good. Try it next time you want to recreate a memory of Belgium. Belgium, Wisconsin.
Look it up, it’s real.
Hahaha, that’s really funny. Awesome.
LOL… Once cooked eggs the same way. Made sure to use PLENTY of non-stick spray though…
