Very simple and tasty recipe! I, too, used about half of the flour/sugar mixture, and it made a great topping for the blueberry waffles I made for my dad on father's day. Thanks!

Easy to whip up while the rest of breakfast items are cooking.<br/>I halved the sugar.<br/>added more water.

I prefer food items which are not extremely sweet. Following the suggestions from the other reviews, I also, cut the sugar and flour in 1/2. It is excellent and easy. I am going to try to add a dollop to my smoothie in the morning...I am sure it will be excellent.

A wonderful sauce that really MADE our waffles. I did add about 1/3 cup of hot water to the finished sauce, which made it velvety smooth. Thanks Bert for posting! UPDATE: I add the sugar/flour to the cold water first so I don't get white lumps. Also, I decrease the sugar/flour by about half. Roxygirl

I needed some berries to go with a pound cake, and I adapted this recipe. I ended up using frozen mixed berries, because that's all I had on hand, but the substitution worked perfectly. This makes a nice, thick sauce. Thanks for sharing.
