I never tried waffles before because simply I never thought of buying a waffle maker. I have every kitchen utensil you can imagine .......... except that little waffle maker.
I also never had waffles before and never been tempted to make them. Do they taste like pancakes, or may be they have a crunchy texture more like cereals or may be waffles have a cake like texture??

So, I had to wait to come to mom's house who, obviously, has a waffle maker to try "les gaufres". Browsing for a good recipe wasn't that easy though :) because...........well how do I know it is a good recipe if I don't even know what to expect??!!! At the end of my mysterious waffle journey, I ended up choosing a simple french recipe. I only added sugar to te recipe because without sugar it tasted a little bit blind. It was a pretty good one because the waffles tasted so good and were crunchy on the outside yet soft in the inside. With a drizzle of honey and butter Mmmmm!!! Even if this is not the way they were supposed to be, I liked them that way!!
