I bought my first ever toaster a couple weeks ago. I also came home with boxes of frozen waffles and Toaster Strudels. Because it occurred to me that 2 out of 3 of my children had never had either one.
Breakfast with the kids has become so much easier for me. For some reason, popping a waffle or a bagel into the toaster is 10 times easier than pouring a bowl of cereal. I am just not a morning kitchen person. Sometimes I am even too lazy/tired/whatever to make a cup of coffee so I just grab a Coke.
I’ve been trying to keep the freezer stocked with homemade waffles since then and this recipe has become a family favorite. I never really got on the brown butter train because, although it smells amazing, I feel like it doesn’t really alter the taste of anything. But like I said, I do get pretty excited about how it makes my kitchen smell.
These are especially great for those of us that aren’t morning cooks because you do the bulk of the work the night before. In the morning all you have to do is whisk in eggs and baking soda and then cook the waffles.

Love yeasted waffles. They freeze and reheat so much better. Adding browned butter is a great idea.
