ON SATURDAYS, my mom and I always went shopping, but before we left, she made my favorite lunch, homemade waffles. They were about 8 inches around and prepared in a grill set on top of the stove. Those waffles were so delicious! -Florence Dean, Towson, Maryland

Tip

Trick for Fluffy Pancakes & Waffles

For very light and tender pancakes or waffles, separate the egg and beat the white until stiff. Stir the yolk and other liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the beaten egg white. —Jonelle W., Trenton, Michigan

add 1 egg. Don't separate the eggs wisk them for 3 to 5 minutes on high or setting 10 on the Kitchen Aid mixer. I have made these the past three weekends in my belgian waffle iron and the kids can't get enough... Making my second batch this morning we have guests and they love them. Teenagers.

Batter was to thick and very bland..not quick to make considering you have to beat the whites separate..didn't make very many for a normal size waffle maker. Ended up using the old standby pancake mix in the box, which was much lighter and better taste.

Very disappointing. This receipe was easy to follow, but the waffles were very bland and tasteless

I thought the waffles had good flavor, not very sweet, but I made a strawberry syrup that tasted excellent on them. Again, not light and fluffy, but I would make them again.

Why does this recipe have so much fat per serving and why only two servings, it makes 8 waffles. To my calculations there should only be around 6 grams of fat per waffle. Help me out here.

Batter to thick and the taste was bland

I agree - the batter was too thick and the waffles far too heavy

This was the worst recipe for waffles. The batter was way to thick for pouring into the griddle. Batter was not sweet enough, and the waffles were doughy and breadlike instead of light and fluffy.

These waffles were awesome. I have a thin waffle maker so I added a bit more milk. Wow!
