real deal Waffles
i haven’t eaten a waffle in 20 years. why waste the calories on a tasteless flour bomb ? but….. after sampling the one served at brunch at FINO ( yeah ! i’m biased ) - i had to indulge in a double stack of my own !

chef jason’s mom shared her recipe with FINO ! thanks june ! the belgian-style waffle batter includes yeast - and is proofed overnight. the result is an incredibly light & airy interior - rich flavor & crispy crust. it comes smothered with whipped orange butter - topped with marcona almonds & served with maple syrup. well worth every calorie !
…or skip the butter & syrup and top with a side order of yogurt-fresh fruit-pistachio & honey
of course these waffles taste great sitting on the patio at FINO - sipping a pomegranate mimosa. but if brunching at home is your thing…….we happily pass on the recipe:
