So you pretty much need to make these waffles immediately. This was my first foray into homemade waffles, and I was blown away by the results. Although I have owned a Belgian-waffle maker for a few years now, all I had ever done was mix up some Bisquick which, now that I think about it, is probably an insult to my awesome Waring Pro round “flip over” fancy-schmancy waffle maker. Well, I’m sure it was happy to see this batter hitting its surface. Imagine bacon that is topped with brown sugar and then baked in the oven so that the brown sugar carmelizes into a glaze on top of the bacon. Then a homemade waffle batter made with buttermilk that is thick, lumpy, and creates the perfect waffle. Mix the bacon into the batter, scoop onto the waffle maker and, voilà!, waffles that combine two favorite breakfast foods.
My favorite part of grabbing breakfast out at a diner where they load up all the food on one plate is that, without fail, the bacon and/or sausage will always end up, at least in part, sitting in syrup that has pooled somewhere on the plate. I absolutely love the taste of breakfast sausage and bacon with maple syrup, and I think that is why these waffles will capture your taste buds too. The bacon is already in the waffles, and then you douse on the maple syrup – all of those wonderful breakfast flavors all in one bite. You seriously cannot go wrong with this recipe. Make them for house guests and you will be a hero.
Tip: This recipe makes a good amount of batter. You can cut the recipe in half to make less, or you can make the full recipe and wrap any extras in plastic wrap (individually) and then place in a freezer bag and freeze. Reheat the waffles in a 250°F oven until warmed through. (You could also microwave if you’re in a hurry, but it could result in a somewhat gummy texture.)
