Basic Batter Waffles

This is a very good waffle recipe that we use in the belgian maker. We ommit the maple extract, and instead use a 1.5x the amount of vanilla and the zest from an organic mandarin. They are exclenet. We normally make at least a double batch, and freeze the leftovers after they have cooled completly so they do not squash. They re-heat at 400*f for 10 min, and are just like fresh. Excelent recipe, thank you!

It's been a while since a recipe made me smile. I agree with another reviewer that there's the perfect amount of leavening to make these waffles fluffy without tasting like baking powder. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that this is a no-fuss recipe. There is no beating of egg whites, no separate mixing of yolks with butter, no warming everything so that butter won't clump from other cold ingredients. Recipes like this make it possible to enjoy waffles on a weekday. We ate ours this morning with strawberries and everyone left for the day in a good mood.

I LOVE that these waffles don't have you beating egg whites separately and that the batter can be mixed up and ready in under 5 minutes. That said, we didn't find these very tender at all, and rather flavorless for our tastes. The flavor can be fixed easily enough, but I'm not sure I can do much about the tenderness...I think I'll keep looking for a good, quick waffle recipe.

As many other reviewers have said, this was also my first time making waffles. The recipe was easy to follow and came out perfectly. I had a lot of leftovers that I froze and my daughter's been eating them every day since. I actually haven't been able to get her to eat anything else for breakfast! She says these are much better than Eggos (and she loves those) and I'm glad to make her something homemade where I can control the ingredients. Thank you!

Great waffles. I used milk and next time I want to try the evaported milk. I didnt have any maple extract so I used the same amount of maple syrup. Great combination the vanilla and the maple, we like it alot. Just the right amount of sugar as well. I used 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle. Love the picture you took Thanks Roxy!

These are tasty and so easy and quick! They are a perfect spur-of-the-moment waffle, thanks so much for sharing this easy (no melted butter or whipped egg whites!!) recipe! I know I'll use it again and again.

These are awesome waffles. This is a great basic, no fuss recipe. I have another recipe for waffles that my family really likes too, but it's so time consuming. I have now put that recipe on the back burner for when I get requests for them; otherwise, this is my go to waffle recipe. Everyone who has had these waffles loves them. Thank you so much for posting.

Great Easy and Tastey Waffle I really liked the fact that I did not have to seperate the eggs and beat the whites and still have the waffle come out great. I followed the recipe as written. Thanks so much for sharing.

These turned out very yummy! We don't keep cows milk in the house so I used coconutmilk (the drinking kind, not the canned kind) and evaporated milk. I did 1c. coconutmilk and 2/3 c. evaporated. I replaced 1/4c. of the white flour with wheat germ and did not have any maple extract so I used 1.5 tsp. vanilla instead of just 1tsp. Also, I used coconut oil in place of the vegetable oil. I have just a plain jane waffle iron so I left them a moment longer after the ready light came on to make sure they'd be nice and crisp and I also kept them warming in a 200deg. F oven until serving time. I served them with sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, real maple syrup and powdered sugar. When I tasted the first one to come out, I thought they were too salty so I will reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp. next time but even so, once they had the toppings on they were just delicious. I got 12 waffles out of this recipe.

I'm with Chef RSL (12-14-11) on this one. I found the waffles bland, a little cakey and chalky, you could taste the baking powder. I think next time I will back off on the baking powder to 2 tsp, and add 2 TBS more of sugar, perhaps (3 TBS) dark brown sugar my fave. But I will tweak this until I get something that I like. I do like the idea of not having to separate the eggs and adding the whites and yellows separately. That way sounds too much like doing laundry. But this recipe isn't close to my fave, Snoqualmie mix. Sorry.

We thought these were really good. Batter had a good flavor (I used both vanilla and maple extract) and very easy to mix up. They were super tender inside, but we would have liked them a little crispier. I left them in the iron for a long time and they just didn't crisp up as much as I wanted, but still very tasty. I subbed 1/4 cup of Flax Meal for flour, so maybe that is what caused this. My DH and DD really liked them for Father's Day breakfast. Thank you for posting!

This was my 1st attempt at making waffles. They were delicious. I've been making them once a week since trying these. I didn't use the maple, but doubled up the vanilla and added cinnamon. I also used whole wheat flour, but even my picky clan couldn't tell. I love that they are perfectly crisp and still soft inside. It has a lot of texture and doesn't just dissolve in your mouth. Thank you.

Very good and easy to make. I liked the addition of the maple extract to the batter. This made enough for our family of 6 and we had two waffles left over.
