Belgian Waffles

Happy Friday!!  Saturdays at my house usually mean something fun for breakfast.  And that something fun is often Belgian waffles.  The batter is oh-so-easy and endlessly customizable.  And leftover waffles freeze beautifully - just throw them in the toaster just like the ones from the store.  I think they're sweet enough without syrup (especially if you add some fruit to the batter), although I'm pretty sure the Munchkin would use it if he could :)
