I LOVE Recipe #170850, but was in the mood for waffles and decided to give this recipe a try. While mixing the batter, I discovered that there was no sugar in the ingredients and added about a tablespoon to suit our tastes. Hubby, who isn't a huge blueberry fan, tried a waffle before I mixed in the berries and said that it had a good flavor. I did have trouble with the waffles including berries sticking inside my waffle maker. That didn't exactly make for a peaceful and stress free Sunday morning. However, the end result (served with the blueberry sauce for me and with just maple syrup for hubby) was a great indulgence.
