    Requested over and over these waffles are made like Grandma used to make from scratch with beaten egg whites and served hot from the waffle iron. The large plentiful pecans are grown from trees in the yard or locally. Melted real butter and warm pecan syrup which tastes like the best melted candy you ever ate put guests in heaven. They are served with homemade breakfast sausage from the highly acclaimed local locker plantand eggs. I also have fresh fruit salad every morning. The apple-pecan/Kahlua icing mini muffins run a close second for popularity. Come Enjoy!
