Thank you Bev, for such an easy recipe! Just got a Belgian waffle iron for Xmas, and the recipes that came with it were horrible! I was going to return the thing when I decided to check 'zaar for better recipes. I came across yours, and because one of your recipes is an all time favorite of mine, I figured I could not go wrong with your waffles! They came out wonderful. I made them plain this time and got 12 waffles out of the recipe. In my waffle maker (Salton) I needed slightly less than 1/3 cup batter or they were oozing out the sides. I had to play around a bit to get the perfect amount, but once I got going they turned out wonderful. They kids had them with butter and syrup AND then had them with ice cream :) I can't wait to try them with the add-ins! Thanks a bunch!

We're big waffle lovers here, and are usually satisfied with a belgian waffle mix I buy at the store. But I wasn't thrilled enough at the price to make them very often, and don't have them on hand as a rule. Enter your recipe into our lives: we'll never go back to the mix! They had a crispy outside and a rich center, and were very light but satisfying. Delicious!!

"These are excellent," says 8 year old Joel. I've made these yummy waffles about a dozen times since we discovered this recipe, and they keep getting better! I've learned that step 2 is very important. I've learned just how much oil to use to grease my waffle maker: not much!!!! I've learned how dark we like our waffles (quite dark). We also use 1 1/2 tsp vanilla and reduce oil to 4 Tbsp. This recipe is a little finnicky, but it's the best I've found yet, and it grows on you as you figure out its quirks. I highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing, Jb! : )

This is a great waffle recipe. We recently bought a Belgian waffle maker. I went to my favorite recipe website, Recipezaar, to find a great recipe for Belgian waffles. We loved the texture of the waffles, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I substituted olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I told my wife today that this recipe is a keeper and it will remain in our household for years to come. Thanks for an excellent recipe!
