Maple Pecan Waffles image

This is a nice light and fluffy waffle--great for overnight guests. Or, make it for dessert and top it with fresh fruit and whipped cream. I found this in My Great Recipes. I didn't have any pecans so I substituted walnuts. For the maple flavoring I threw in a few squirts of maple syrup. If you have any left (might want to double the recipe), wrap in plastic and freeze. To reheat, just put the frozen waffle in the toaster (move over L'eggo My Ego).
