Christmas mornings at my house mean all kinds of little traditions. Traditions when layered together help me to create the kind of Christmas I hope my children will remember forever. I aim for peace, for joy, for warmth. Then when I end up with a giant mess under the tree, organized chaos in the family room, and a dining room table covered in dirty dishes, I feel like I’ve done something right. So how do I go from the vision in my head to the Holiday chaos I’ve come to love? I hit my traditions hard. Christmas Eve means; last minute present wrapping, gingerbread house decorating, cookie baking and a little champagne drinking. Christmas morning brings new PJ’s for all, hot coffee and some of those much loved Christmas cookies. We try and stretch out the gift opening and picture taking. Once the craziness of the morning passes and we can breathe…it’s time to reflect on how truly blessed we are and sit down to a big old fashioned wonderful breakfast together.
Fresh fruit, more coffee, cinnamon buns, bacon, OJ and thanks to Breville Smart Waffle Pro, Belgian waffles with all the fixings.
The Breville Smart Waffle Pro makes it possible to take your breakfast or brunch to the next level!
Here’s a recipe for some fluffy Belgian waffles the kids will ask for again and again:
Once you’ve whipped up your favourite batter, it’s time for the magic!
After the batter is ready you simply select Belgian, Classic, Chocolate or Buttermilk, then choose your preferred color from light to dark. Next step, pour in the waffle batter – the waffle maker will do the rest. It has Waffle IQ! Your masterpiece is done in minutes. With Waffle IQ, cooking time is automatically calculated to suit your waffle style and colour. No guess, no mess. Yes this little beauty also knows the correct cooking time based on your type of batter: buttermilk, Belgian, classic or chocolate.
Bonus; the no-mess moat yields extra bites and makes for easy clean up. It’s amazing! The no-spill edge makes clean-up a snap. It’s the envy of any pastry perfectionist.
