Everyone here forgetting that this makes it dense and not fluffy otherwise we'd have put literally everything conceivable into a waffle iron.

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.
Depends on iron really. Where I live, we have those that actually press the dough, not just enclose it, hence the name IRON.
hence the name IRON.
I'm pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called "irons" because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.
Where I live we usually put a batter in the waffle iron, doughs usually get shaped and put on a pan (or put into a loaf pan to make bread shaped bread). All that being said, I'm in the southern US, we aren't known for making sense most the time.
Our batter is thicker, so it has to be pressed.
hence the name IRON.
I struggle to follow your logic there.
Iron presses, or squishes anyway. Although just the name itself is not clear really. In my mind am equating it to iron for ironing clothes, so you press the dough into shape.
Waffle Press woul've made more sense in that case.
Yup. So where I live the two are the same. Our dough is thick and needs to be pressed into shape.
> yanks calling a muffin a biscuit
Utter muppets
Is that not a scone tho?
Now I'm confused... What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?
Like a blueberry bran one or something.
Muffin in non-North American English refers to a part-raised flatbread, like a crumpet. In North America, muffin typically refers to a sweetened quickbread baked in a mold like a large cupcake, but shockingly even less healthy. The rest of the English speaking world generally refers to this as an American muffin.
In North America, biscuit refers to a levened, typically unsweetened quickbread. For the rest of the English speaking world, a biscuit is flat, unlevened, and often sweet, like shortbread. This would be referred to in North America as a cookie.
We do love to confuse each other.
In Germany, "Keks" refers to an English-style biscuit but the word is derived from English cake, while "Biskuit" means sponge cake even though, just like Zwieback, it means "twice baked". For some very odd reason English and French actually agree on the meaning of biscuit but neither bake theirs twice.
This kind of word jumble is why I love languages. There's so often interesting history tied up in the etymology of a word or, like this, it's just insanity.
Now someone is... checks notes... "Taking the piss" which either means giving us yanks shit or genuinely confused about how we could be confused... I think?

Take Jimmy Dean sausage meat, the one in the plastic tube, and spread it over a sheet of cheddar bay biscuit dough. Roll it into a log and slice it at a half inch thick spirals. Bake in the oven at 350 freedom until golden brown. Dip the top in the supplied seasoning prepared as directed. Enjoy cheddar bay biscuit sausage rolls.
You are just baking from scratch, but more it's expensive and less healthy.
My man, wait until you discover spices. You can make anything "spicy" or "garlic" flavored.
If you hear "sausage cheddar biscuits" and think, "well that sounds unhealthy!" while clutching your pearls, then you don't understand what's going on here.
By reading a recipe really quickly and making your own, it will taste better and be healthier and cheaper. That's the point.
Your point is stupid because no matter how you make a sausage cheddar biscuit loaf, it's going to be unhealthy.
Less processed? Yes. More tasty? Maybe. More healthy? No. Easier? No. Faster? No. Cheaper? Negligible.
My man, wait until you discover spices. You can make anything "spicy" or "garlic" flavored.
You mean make everything garlic flavor.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
