Waffles

Experience the tempting peaks and valleys of buttery, sweet and savory waffles. This collection of more than 30 mouthwatering recipes—plus a dozen toppings to sprinkle, spread, drizzle, and otherwise gild the waffle—includes childhood classics like the basic Buttermilk Waffle and elegant updates like Ham and Gruyere Waffle Tartines. Deliciously crunchy and light, these recipes are equally at home at the breakfast table, in a lunch box, or served formally at a dinner party. Doll them up with a drizzle of Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce, sprinkle with fines herbes, or dress them down (in the best possible way) with simple pure maple syrup—these delicately crisp, perfectly golden, and light as air treats are the ultimate in culinary versatility.
