Okay PJ, guess I'll be making this tomorrow (one of the bonuses of working from home). I've not tried the maple & vanilla, so this should be good. I also only have the traditional waffle iron (4 large squares), but I'm not a big fan of Belgium style waffles. As far as the BW iron, when you pour in the batter, it immediately sticks to the iron and starts cooking. When you rotate it, the batter than falls to the other iron and starts cooking. If you didn't flip it, it would have to rise to the other iron to cook and it wouldn't be as crispy (not as long a time against that iron cuz they are so much thicker and would take time to rise up to that height).
Thanks for the waffle iron lesson, Mike - didn't know that! :) PJH
