If making these for a meal prep for the week how many days would they keep in the fridge or freezer and how would you reheat them in the morning so that they're not either really dry or that weird microwave-bread stretchy? I've had differing success with reheating anything bread for meal prep wether I steam it or not.

These are great waffles. We've been trying to fiddle with the Fanny Farmer recipe with NO luck and stumbled upon this recipe. Even though it uses much less yeast than the other recipe, the batter ended up being much thicker and when cooked, it was much lighter. Because I had a cup of buttermilk that needed to be used, we included that in the second batch, and I think I may continue to do this. Wonderful, light but crispy with a great yeasty flavor. Perfect. Thanks for posting this!

I am not sure what went wrong with these, but the texture was weird. They got crispy on the bottom, but were soft (almost doughy) on top. I even adjusted it to a darker setting and it was still that way. They also didn't rise at all; I used active dry yeast instead of instant yeast and maybe that is the reason? I also subbed coconut oil for the butter, but I have done that in many pancake and waffle recipes with success. The flavor was good, but the overall product was mediocre. Sorry.

Mmmm. Substituted all whole wheat flour to this recipe--I don't cook with white flour. and they were delicious. I probably had to add 3/4 cup extra liquid to the recipe, it was very thick like muffin batter in the morning. Waffles were holy and flavorful. Also substituted butter milk for some of the milk. Make a double recipe for family of 4 or more! They go fast.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
