What's fer brekfest Momza?

Waffles and Ice Cream!

We feed the missionaries on Saturday mornings.
When we get a new one in, I ask him what his favorite thing for breakfast is, and try to make it for him.
Our last new guy was from Samoa...he requested SPAM and EGGS. Which meant I had to go buy SPAM on purpose. He loved it.

Our new guy is here from Idaho--he actually went to the same high school my Nana went to before we moved here, tho they didn't knwo each other.
He requested Waffles & Ice Cream.

He happens to be training a sweet new Elder from Texas...we're having my famous Granny Buttermilk Biscuits and sausage gravy next week.
We've been feedin' the missionaries breakfast for years now...I no longer have to chase the dinner calendar at church, and it just works out better for our family's schedules if we do it this way.

IN your deep biscuit bowl add 4 cups of Flour. Make a large hole in the center slightly packing sides with back of hand. IN the hole place:
