I love waffles...really I do. I enjoy making them for the family. This one requires a little more effort but it is well worth the effort for the smiles it brings to the faces of those who eat them warm and crispy from the iron. Ingredients:
1/2 cup of slivered blanched almonds...heated and toasted in the oven. (about 12 minutes at 300 degrees-i love my toaster oven for this step) |

2 tbsp of sugar |
4 tsp of baking powder |
1/2 tsp of salt |
6-8 rasps of a fresh whole nutmeg on a microplane |

2 large eggs |
4 tbsp of melted butter cooled to lukewarm |
1 1/2 cups of lemon-flavored seltzer |
1 cup of maple syrup-grade b |
2 wedges of fresh lemon |
a pinch of salt |

3. Add two tsp of lemon rind to the processor and pulse a few more times.
