A great way to use leftover rice! I don't have a waffle iron right now, so placing here for safekeeping. Adapted from the USA Rice Foundation.

The recipe was cut in half and short grain brown rice subbed for plain white. Wasn't too sure about the optional caraway but I got used to it after a few bites. The waffles were Tasty Dish approved which is always a relief. Thanks for posting!

What an interesting waffle Sharon. It was really good. The waffles were crisp, tender, light and flavorful, very very filling, with a slight rice flavor. The syrup was dynamite, thick, spicy, sweet, tart and tangy. A perfect accompaniment to the waffles, they balanced each other perfectly. A repeat recipe for me. Thank you so much for sharing this unique treat.
