    Are you sure? Waffles made in a waffle iron are fluffy so just because it’s made in a waffle iron doesn’t mean it can’t be fluffy.

      Waffle batter normally has baking powder in it to cause it to rise, or the egg whites in it have been whipped to make it fluffy.

      Bay biscuits… probably don’t have as much baking powder in them as they’re pretty dense when you dollop out the dough and they don’t rise much in the oven.

      So while you can make fluffy things in a waffle iron, just because you make bay biscuits in a waffle iron doesn’t mean they’re going to be fluffy.

        They’re not as fluffy as waffles, but they’re denser even out of a waffle iron. A waffle iron doesn’t really compress what’s in it, it just moves the batter around into veins, so that veins hold the fluffiness so I don’t see why it would suddenly be too dense just because it’s made in a waffle iron. The whole point of waffle irons is to get a combo of fluffy and crispy.
