Easy Waffle-Iron Pizza and Poptarts

I had started this blog post years ago and just discovered it.  I need to make these with the kids again!

Ok, so you need to buy the Pillsbury canned biscuits to make these.  It's important that you buy the "Flaky Layers" kind!

(I apologize for the lack of helpful pictures. I would have taken some if my waffle iron and kitchen didn't look gross. 😜)

Step 1
Rip each raw biscuit into 2 thin pieces (see why the "flaky layers" are important?)

Step 2
Gently stretch them a little so they're a little wider.  They'll rip easily so don't stretch too much!

Step 3
Place one half of the biscuit on your waffle iron.

Step 4
Add your filling.
If you want to make a "Pop Tart," then put a spoonful of jam in the middle (be sure you leave a good clean border or else when you close the iron, you'll have jam squeezing out all over!)
If you want Pizza, then put a few slices of pepperoni and some pieces of string cheese.

Step 5
Place the other half of the biscuit on top and close your waffle iron.  Don't lock it closed-it's going to be thicker than a normal waffle and you don't want to squish everything.  Just set the lid down on it gently.

Step 6
When it looks cooked and golden, pop those puppies off and enjoy!  Be sure to have pizza sauce ready to dip your pizza waffles in.

Another yummy thing to cook on the waffle iron is refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls!  They cook pretty fast and then they have those little square potholes which hold all the delicious icing!
