Butter on Waffles

[prplchknz]

So some controversy has arisen, and I say butter belongs on waffles but someone not going to say who but it starts with a k and ends with atsuni says it doesn't. who is correct?

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Butter clearly belongs on waffles if you're serving them with syrup. But if you're having fruit on your waffles, not necessary.

 

[Kingfisher]

yeah, smothered in butter and drowning in syrup.

 

[miss fortune]

I eat ONLY butter on waffles... I think that syrup is disgusting

 

[prplchknz]

my room mate hates syrup so she puts sugar on her waffles and pancakes.
btw on pumpkin waffles if you melt butter and mix in cinnamon and sugar and pour it on the waffle it's so good.

butter and lots of real maple syrup

Smothered in butter, light on the syrup. Mmmmm, i love butter. In fact, i'm going to toast myself some waffles now

i haven't thought about waffles in a while, probably haven't had one in about 2 years, never really was crazy for them..

.. but after reading this, i NEED one! NOW! we'll talk about buttering when we get there..

ME, TOO.

Butter is essential for true waffle enjoyment. The more, the better.

Butter only belongs on waffles when they're being eaten with syrup, which is why I picked "sometimes"...if they're being eaten with fruit topping and whipped cream, butter would just be gross.

I prefer fruit & whipped cream, and I don't mind butter also, but it's not necessary. I don't like maple syrup on waffles (or pancakes).

 

[prplchknz]

ok i do love fruit and whip cream on waffles. especially pie filling i found these jars of pie filling and once i have money again i'm buying some blueberry pie filling and putting it on my waffles in the morning.

 

[gromit]

When people say syrup do they mean maple syrup or that "pancake" syrup stuff?

...pumpkin waffles...

Have never tried but now I must do so soon... do you make them yourself?

Oh this is such a fantastic thread!

You can make some pretty cheaply by heating frozen blueberries in a skillet.

Butter on waffles? How odd and possibly gag-worthy. Hm. But I don't really like butter anyway. Am I the only one who likes waffles plain? Straight from the...um...waffle-making-machine, totally fresh and hot and without any interfering factors. Cool.

Yeah, I put butter on waffles, too. AND syrup. I've a major sweet and savory tooth.

i should try that, but i can't even afford frozen blueberries, haha

 

[JocktheMotie]

You're supposed to microwave the butter and syrup together and drizzle/drench your waffle accordingly.

Noobs.

I think most are talking about the tweaked high fructose corn syrup. If you're really fancy, you can go for the ones that actually have a few drops of maple syrup in it to flavor it.
It's pretty expensive where I live--cost way more than the waffles.
