  • 1 c. water
  • 1 c. raspberries (or blueberries)

Chef's Comments:  This one is a BIG WOW here at Spotlight HQ!  Serves 2

Ingredients
:
  • 2 - large butter croissants (fresh or not, it won’t matter)
  • 4 - Eggs
  • ¼ cup - Milk
  • 1 ½ tsp. – Vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp. – Cinnamon
Directions:

  3. Place on hot waffle iron, close the top, and cook for 4-6 minutes depending on the size and wattage of your waffle iron (or until steaming has stopped and waffles are golden brown and somewhat crunchy).
  4. Have your crew ready to eat as soon as these come off the iron. They're best when served directly.
  5. Option 1: Top with butter, Wisconsin Maple syrup, and powered sugar.
  6. Option 2: Cover with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
  7. Option 3: Top with hot pecan maple syrup. You can make this by heating 2 tsp. butter and ½ to 1 cup chopped pecans in a small pan, over a medium heat, for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add 6-12 oz real maple syrup and bring to a rolling boil.
  8. Serve and Say YUM!
