Waffles are reward and indulgence, care and leisure, all stacked up on your plate. And when they are homemade, they have a taste and texture seldom found in waffles available in frozen-food cases.

While eggs and bacon are guilt-ridden breakfast fare, waffles, especially those made with whole or multigrains, are more popular than ever, and for good reason. Waffles can be formulated to pack fiber and complex carbohydrates without much fat or sugars.

And Belgian waffles, introduced in this country at the 1964 World`s Fair in New York, are a waffle we have come to love. They are thicker and more crisp than the waffles we grew up eating. The crispness on the outside is one of the things that makes waffles good.

When it came time to replace my stovetop waffle iron with a serious electric appliance, I turned to friend Patti Hardy who is a longtime Sunday-morning wafflemaker. She recommended the Vitantonio Belgian Waffler, which, despite its Italian name and Belgian design, is made in the United States.

The Vitantonio is almost everything a wafflemaker should be. It has a heavy stainless steel and Teflon grid that makes two 4 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch squares. And its automatic 400-degree temperature bakes waffles that are very crisp on the outside despite the steam-baking that takes place inside.

It has great recovery time. You can make two waffle squares every two minutes without lowering the temperature. And its Teflon coating makes it non- stick.

Even though its small size means it makes only two 4 1/2-inch-square waffles, the Vitantonio`s neat rectangular shape allows it to be tucked away more easily than older, larger waffle machines.

And there are no controls to worry about. The Vitantonio`s temperature is preset. When the waffle is done, a red light goes on.

The lid is balanced to remain halfway up when removing a waffle or pouring in new mix. The grids are not removable, but you never really have to clean them with anything more than a paper towel to absorb excess grease.

The waffle iron sells for $50 at Crate & Barrel, 646 N. Michigan Ave., the Chef`s Catalog The Store, 3005 N. Clark St., and the Crossroad Shopping Center, 151 Skokie Valley Rd., Highland Park.

The Sunday-morning wafflemaker has tried dozens of waffle recipes over the years, but this is the one she most prefers:
