Notes

These waffles are light and crisp, perfect for a sailor’s sunrise. For peanut butter lovers, skip the cinnamon to avoid flavor mutiny. This bounty keeps well in the ship’s stores for up to 2 days—reheat in a toaster to restore its golden glory. A seaworthy breakfast fit for a captain’s cabin.
