These were good and different. My husband ate them with a bit of syrup and I ate them plain. Loved the cornmeal in these waffles. I too had a lot and froze them for later. Thanks!

These were a delicious and easy meal -- the recipe does make a lot more than the 6 waffles listed -- my Beligian wafflemaker makes 4x4-inch waffles and it made 18 of them, which is great because they freeeze and reheat beautifully. They have a nice, crispy texture and a great flavor.
