Waffles in a Sandwich Maker
To make waffles for two using a sandwich maker, mix a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk, an egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Preheat and grease the sandwich maker, then pour a small amount of batter into each section. Cook the waffles for 4-6 minutes until golden brown. Carefully remove them and serve with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruits, or whipped cream. It’s an easy, fun, and creative way to enjoy waffles without a waffle iron!
