Waffle On Waffles Plain

Was hoping these waffles would be as good toasted as the packaged Belgian waffles I recently bought in Countdown in Australia. They’re not. Dry and crumbly. The first one fell apart as I removed it from the packet. I had to check they were still within the use by date. (They were.) Drenching in maple syrup helped but a lot was needed. The birds liked them. Very sad, was looking forward to them.
