    Just a thermostat, I think. When the temperature stabilizes again after the batter cools it, the waffles are done. The waffle maker is engineered that way (heat capacity of the plates, power dissipation of the heating element, sensitivity and placement of the thermostat). Not really that hard to engineer. The doneness of waffles is not all that critical a point to hit.

    Hehe, I completely overlooked the waffles thing! I'll change it to flapjacks.

    How about:

    I’m burning waffles when they call about the body.


    My apologies if someone has already posted this. I tried to read the previous responses as thoroughly as possible.

    I agree. For some reason waffles works much better for me than flapjacks or pancakes. Keep it.

    Query: Why are her fingers still floury if she's got the batter in the waffle iron, and it's had time to overcook them?

    (Sorry, had to ask. Readers who cook will wonder.)

    Waffles. No one here is advocating for flapjacks.
