Everyone here forgetting that this makes it dense and not fluffy otherwise we'd have put literally everything conceivable into a waffle iron.
Are you sure? Waffles made in a waffle iron are fluffy so just because it's made in a waffle iron doesn't mean it can't be fluffy.
Waffle batter normally has baking powder in it to cause it to rise, or the egg whites in it have been whipped to make it fluffy.
Bay biscuits... probably don't have as much baking powder in them as they're pretty dense when you dollop out the dough and they don't rise much in the oven.
So while you can make fluffy things in a waffle iron, just because you make bay biscuits in a waffle iron doesn't mean they're going to be fluffy.
They're not as fluffy as waffles, but they're denser even out of a waffle iron. A waffle iron doesn't really compress what's in it, it just moves the batter around into veins, so that veins hold the fluffiness so I don't see why it would suddenly be too dense just because it's made in a waffle iron. The whole point of waffle irons is to get a combo of fluffy and crispy.

Oh, you could make Waffle Biscuits which hold onto the gravy and egg… Oh my.
I've actually had this at a cafe is Georgia. Incredible stuff.
Now I'm wondering if there is anything that isn't better in waffle form.

> yanks calling a muffin a biscuit
Utter muppets
Now I'm confused... What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?
Like a blueberry bran one or something.
Muffin in non-North American English refers to a part-raised flatbread, like a crumpet. In North America, muffin typically refers to a sweetened quickbread baked in a mold like a large cupcake, but shockingly even less healthy. The rest of the English speaking world generally refers to this as an American muffin.
In North America, biscuit refers to a levened, typically unsweetened quickbread. For the rest of the English speaking world, a biscuit is flat, unlevened, and often sweet, like shortbread. This would be referred to in North America as a cookie.
We do love to confuse each other.
In Germany, "Keks" refers to an English-style biscuit but the word is derived from English cake, while "Biskuit" means sponge cake even though, just like Zwieback, it means "twice baked". For some very odd reason English and French actually agree on the meaning of biscuit but neither bake theirs twice.
This kind of word jumble is why I love languages. There's so often interesting history tied up in the etymology of a word or, like this, it's just insanity.
Now someone is... checks notes... "Taking the piss" which either means giving us yanks shit or genuinely confused about how we could be confused... I think?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Currently, these separate comments appear next to each other for me, and I absolutely love it
Hmmm chicken and waffles reimagined? Or OR... Fish and waffles opposed to fish and chips! Ok now we're talkin!
I have put my waffle iron through more shit than it should reasonably be able to handle. I used to have parties with friends where we would get fucking plastered and try waffling everything.
The waffle all the things craze started shortly after, a cosmic coincidence if ever there was one.
Anyway here's some reports.
First, we used a shallow style waffle maker. Mine was a cheaper Cuisinart but I think any would do.
Bad corn bread mix is elevated in the waffle maker but really fucking good corn bread is better prepared the traditional way. I used famous Dave's as a nice middle ground cornbread batter and it made a fantastic base for chili.
As did cheap tube cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls and chili are a staple where I'm from and trust me when I tell you that waffling them and serving chili on top absolutely elevates the dish.
Tater tots, covered in cheese, and cooked from frozen on the waffle iron are absolutely the best version of tater tots. This is the one thing we did every single time. You gotta abuse the poor iron closed but it's worth it.
Bread is just toast in the waffle maker, a bad version of toast. Anything you see that says put something in bread and put it in the waffle maker has been disappointing.
Fried mac and cheese bites, similarly, are not improved by the waffle process.
Pierogi however, are absolutely wonderful but not necessarily improved enough to be worth the effort. Unless you're alone and somehow only want like 4.
Lasagna was the last item my poor waffle iron waffled. The HR Geiger abomination that came out of that poor machine was absolutely fantastic. Alas my poor iron never came clean again. It was a fitting send off.
Chili and cinnamon rolls. Are you from Kansas?
Nebraska. They do it in Iowa too. I don't know who started it but there's a local chain of restaurants in my home town that claims they did it first.
Ok you lost me at cinnamon rolls and chili. But cornbread waffles with chili on top sounds like some next level way to eat chili!
I know, just trust me.
There's no frosting on the cinnamon rolls. It's good. I promise you it's good. It isn't gonna change your life but I swear it's good. it's better than the nonsense they do in Ohio with fuckin spaghetti.
So, what’s going on with the spaghetti in Ohio?
