  Tonight I am going to make a “breakfast” supper. Bacon, eggs, and Belgian waffles. Not a low carb meal by any means! I make waffles about once every 3 months and we are due for it! )   Homemade is best, of course! Here is the recipe I use from The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American:   Belgian Waffles Recipe  4 eggs, separated ½ tsp vanilla 1 TB butter 1 cup flour ½ tsp salt 1 cup milk   This recipe makes 4 waffles.   Beat egg yolks until very light. Add vanilla and butter. Combine flour and salt and add with milk to egg mixture. Beat well. Beat egg whites until stiff and very gently fold into batter.   Bake in a Belgian waffle iron. I use Pam spray to prevent sticking.   These are often served with strawberries and powdered sugar, or sliced bananas, sliced peaces, blueberries, etc. To make chocolate pancakes, add one package hot coca mix to the above mixture. Cook as usual, watching for excessive browning due to the chocolate. Top with chocolate chips and a scoop of ice cream. You can also add whipped cream and powdered sugar to make it exceptionally decadent! My mom was a manager at IHOP for years and years, and they used to serve a chocolate chip waffle and chocolate pancakes make this way: cocoa in batter, chips on top, scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and powdered sugar.    People often ordered this as a meal! Talk about a sugar rush ...WOOO EEEEE   In any case, the waffles are awesome!   Blessings!                                                              Kathie
