Waffle Quarters Syrup Dip

Featured in: Quick Brunch Ideas

These golden waffle quarters provide a crispy, light texture that's perfect for dipping in warm, sweet maple syrup. Crafted with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, butter, and vanilla, the batter yields fluffy rounds cooked in a waffle iron. Once cooked, the waffles are cut into quarters, enhancing the hand-held experience. The maple syrup dip, gently warmed with butter, adds a rich sweetness that complements the waffles. Optional touches like fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar can elevate the flavor for any breakfast or brunch gathering.
