Perfect! The waffles were delicious. Tender ,moist, fluffy and full of flavor. We love it! I think I’m going to give them as Christmas gifts…….. seriously!
Really good recipe, the only thing I would change is more milk.
Batter from God!. Okay, I have tried about a dozen pancake recipes, from cooking magazines, fancy cookbooks, you name it. They all taste flat and blah. I know that this is a waffle recipe but the ingredients looked like the perfect proportion. These were so yummy. They were that perfect combination of salty and sweet. The only thing that I added was nutmeg. I put nutmeg in anything that has vanilla in it as it really enhances the flavor of both. My kitchens open all night and my family loved these. Finally … great pancakes even in the middle of the night. My quest is complete. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Best waffle recipe I’ve used so far! Only modification I made was to add some cinnamon because I love cinnamon!
I made this batter and refrigerated covered to the batter (no air) for 3 hours. Was thick as paste. Spread it out on the iron. If I think about it I can still taste them. That good. Even without syrup. Will be making again this weekend!
Yep, great badder
like this, just needs a bit more liquid
