Waffle

Do you remember all those times we used to take the LRT and go to Masjid India, just to visit the Semua house and eat waffles? It was so difficult to find a car park near Semua house, and I had to park the car near the Hang Tuah LRT station and we took the LRT from there to Masjid Jamek!
You always loved to stand on the seat and watch the buildings whizzing by. I used to look at you and think, how did this ever happen? How did I manage to get the most prettiest baby in the world as my child?

Before I teach you how to make waffles, there are few things you need to know about the waffle iron.
Mama's waffle iron is 58 years old, and at that time they were not very particular about safety! The exterior of the waffle iron( it is made of Chrome) gets very hot and under NO circumstances will you touch the surface!.

Second thing you must do: After using the waffle iron, turn off the power, and let it cool. Once the plates are cool, take it off, wash it well and put it back on the waffle iron. Now you Must turn the power on and heat the plate again. This would prevent rusting of the cast iron plates and your waffles would never stick on the pan.

There are three recipes mama follows to make waffles. First one uses only one egg, but takes time to make as you have to beat the egg white( Mama makes this, when I am really angry.. beating the egg white for 15 minutes usually takes all the anger away). second one is easy, just mix all the stuff, third one uses yeast and takes an awfully long time to get the batter ready.( I usually uses this recipe to make school lunch for you!)
