Funnel Cake Waffles

Cuando era niña ( when I was a little girl)... I looked forward to hot summer días....In those days when I was so young that I really didn't have a good grasp of time....but I knew  during the last few days in July when those days got fry an egg on the sidewalk hot...it was just about time. 

It was in that time every summer that something wonderful would come to my little quiet pueblito!....The county fair...and it was filled with all things that young dreams were made of!...Spinning rides that would tickle me from the inside. Colorful stands filled with gigante stuffed animals that if won would barely fit in your bedroom let alone your car!

But for me the most anticipated stand that this young foodie couldn't wait to arrive at...was the funnel cake stand.  It was the only sweet I would ever pick at the carnival. I could easily pass up the sticky candy apples and even turn my nose up at the pink fluffy bag of cotton candy...but the funnel cake for me was impossible for me to resist!  A soft but crispy swirly cake showered with a cloud of snow inspired sugar!

Everything about it for me was just PERFECTO! Until the moment  I tasted these Funnel Cake Waffles...seriously no joke...these have everything I loved about my last blissful moments at the county fair....rolled far from the fair  grounds right onto my breakfast plate. 

There are simply no other words for these waffles except AMAZING! I feel like the "Fair Gods" have inspired me and made the little niña in me Muy Contenta!  Very Happy!
