This was one of the occasions when reading the Sunday morning paper and watching FoodTV on brought about a great idea for breakfast: waffles with the unusual combination of bacon and cinnamon. In the orginial recipe, Giada Di Laurentiis uses pancetta, but difficult to 'slim down' a thick slice of pancetta (and, I also was out of pancetta). This is a skinny version of the waffle that leaves you little to wish for with regard to taste, texture and a perfect Sunday morning breakfast.
1 NS pancake mix or 1/4 cp Big trail buttermilk pancake mix
1/2 TB brown splenda
1/2 ts ground cinnamon
1 TB walnuts, chopped
1 ts bacon bits
3.5 TB ff buttermilk (or 1/3 cup for the NS pancake mix)
1 TB eggbeaters
Schmucker SF breakfast syrup
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; the batter should be on the liquid, pourable side. Pour batter in the middle of pre-heated waffle iron, and bake for 3-5 min. For extra special waffle, roast the walnuts first. Serve with sf maple syrup!
As protein, I added a small omelette, but an amaretto cheesecake non-fat yoghurt would also have been great.

Surely you need to have more than 3.5 TB of ff buttermilk? I tried this and it was like a thick paste, had to add more liquid. Your recipe for savory waffles calls for 1/3 cup of ff buttermilk - please advise, thanks - Shirley
