Waffles with Butter Pecan Syrup

I wasn't going to post this recipe, so I didn't take pictures of the process.  However, my husband ranted and raved about it, so I thought I'd add it on here.  This syrup was so good.  These waffles were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.  Classic.  I feel bad for people that don't like waffles because they have only have Eggo Waffles.  No wonder they don't like them!  You shouldn't get complaints with these waffles   They are scrumptious.
