They can almost pass for something you’d get at a diner: thick and fluffy, they have tons of vanilla ... not be the waffle for you, but I think it works. Glazing one with a cream cheese frosting ...

Simmer for five minutes. To serve, stack the waffles onto each of four plates, top with some strawberry compôte and a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup.
