Frozen waffles are one of civilization’s greatest innovations—pale pucks of gluten and sugar, destined to be toasted then drowned in syrup. The most famous of all are probably Kellogg’s Eggo Waffles, the cardboardy disks with their iconic packaging and tagline. (Leggo!) Well, we’ve made freezer waffles better and more flavorful than ever, with a carefully tuned formula, maxed out on flavor and crispness without steering away from the ethos of a convenient, ready-to-heat-and-eat waffle. These waffles come together in a flash, and you probably already have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your pantry. So you can entertain the kid in you (or your actual kids) by whipping up a batch of these better-than-Eggo waffles and freezing them for whenever the craving strikes you. (Although they are also plenty delicious fresh out of the waffle iron, too!)
