It was on a visit to my husband's relatives in Belgium that I was given this recipe. Back in the U.S., I served the waffles to his Belgian-born grandmother. She said they tasted just like home. Our grandkids love these waffles with any kind of topping: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, fried apples, powdered sugar or whipped topping. —Rose Delemeester, St. Charles, Michigan

DELISH!! ESPECIALLY AFTER MAKING ALL PREVIOUS WAFFLES W/BISQUICK.

I PUT THE SOLID BUTTER IN THE MILK AND MELTED IT IN THE MILK IN THE MICROWAVE.

This is the only waffle recipe that I make. I have it bookmarked and I've made them 4 times. Each time they turn out great! The only thing I do differently is just warming up the milk so it doesn't solidify the butter. I love this recipe so much! thank you so much for posting it! :)

I received a waffle maker for Christmas and never made waffles before. This was the first recipe I made and thought it was delicious. Since then, I've been on the search for other waffle recipes and none of them have turned out as good as this one. So far this one is the best! It's a bit on the sweet side so I just added less sugar though, but other than that it's great. I'm sticking with this recipe.

First time I have ever made Belgian waffles..got a Cuisinart for my birthday :) These were sooooo good!! My whole family loved them! I was afraid it would be more difficult, but it wasn't. Took a little time, but well worth it! after reading the other comments, I did warm the milk..but apparently not enough, because the butter did congeal, but it blended right in very easily. Thank you for making my experience so yummy!

It made about half the amount of waffles it states when I made it, but other than that, it's pretty perfect. I've tried several other recipes and find they are too eggy or don't rise well or are too dense. These are light and fluffy but didn't leave me feeling hungry after I had finished. I do think I'll add a touch of cinnamon to the batter next time though.

The taste is amazing, but the texture? Well, these are heavy, not light and fluffy like whipped egg whites suggest. Too much trouble for what it was worth. I doubled the recipe for my daughter's sleepover and they all loved them. I was not impressed.

My daughter, niece and grand niece love this. We use all sorts of toppings and a variety flavors of syrups. My favorite is waffles extra crispy with MS. Butterworth syrup (80-90 degrees F).
