Last week, my little one have a friend who came over to play, so I thought of something they can have for tea and the first one that came into my mind was the waffles from birds eye which is one of our favourites. It actually make their tea time quite enjoying because they both love munching them with a fish finger and corn on cob, It's a success...

TASTE
It's taste lovely especially the crispiness, the inner layer is quite soft and don't actually taste greasy. Way different from other brands that seem to sink and turn hallow.

PREPARE
Medium Grill : 8 mins
Pre-heat grill.
Turn occasionally.
Cook until crisp and golden.

Oven Bake: 15 mins - 220°C or Fan 200°C or Gas Mark 7.
Pre-heat oven.
Turn once.
Cook until crisp and golden.

It can also be barbequed. As for me, I also tend to use the toaster, as my friends advice to popped it on toaster, turn the full power then turn it once more for another round and your crispy waffle is ready. I actually used it if I only need 1 or 2 waffles just to save time. Our toaster played a very important role when cooking those quickie snack.

Most of us prefered to have variety of snacks to choose from and I highly recommend these waffle, it's one of the tastiest out there that is really affordable. Imagine having 12 for a pound, is definitely a great deal. It's fun to eat and it goes well with anything really. A real potato goodness in your plate at any time!
