Everyone here forgetting that this makes it dense and not fluffy otherwise we'd have put literally everything conceivable into a waffle iron.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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.

Depends on iron really. Where I live, we have those that actually press the dough, not just enclose it, hence the name IRON.

[-] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

Where I live we usually put a batter in the waffle iron, doughs usually get shaped and put on a pan (or put into a loaf pan to make bread shaped bread). All that being said, I'm in the southern US, we aren't known for making sense most the time.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Our batter is thicker, so it has to be pressed.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

hence the name IRON.

I'm pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called "irons" because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.

hence the name IRON.

I struggle to follow your logic there.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Iron presses, or squishes anyway. Although just the name itself is not clear really. In my mind am equating it to iron for ironing clothes, so you press the dough into shape.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Waffle Press woul've made more sense in that case.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yup. So where I live the two are the same. Our dough is thick and needs to be pressed into shape.
