Lori made a bittman waffle batter last night to let it rise overnight. It had yeast in it. Unheard of! But the promise was a crispy exterior and moist interior after coming off the waffle iron so she gave it a shot. And they were delicious... Crispy and moist, a great, great waffle:

Then there was the suggestion to add strips of bacon right on top of the batter in the waffle iron. What? Again, unheard of! We had to try:

And after a couple minutes, here's what we had:

The bacon was completely fused with the waffle. Totally nuts. An entirely different thing than having bacon with your waffle. The fat and meat soak right in... It almost looks processed:

We ate them with our hands in quarters. Really satisfying. Totally weird. Would be great for a big appetite, crowd pleasing surprise. I can't imagine making these things frequently, but once in a while I'm sure we're going to crave them. If you haven't tried, you gotta go for it. Bacon Waffles!
