Pecan Waffles
These waffles are so good, light, airy and crispy! I could eat these anytime of day.
What is the difference between waffles and pancakes and can I use the same batter for both? The quick answer is yes you can and there is a difference. Waffles typically contain more fat which is what helps them to be crispier. They also can have more eggs and usually the eggs are separated. The whites are typically beaten until stiff and folded in at the end. This makes for a light and fluffy batter. Pancake batter is more cake like and denser.
