sorry, not good. My two strawberry loving, waffle loving kids took one bite and each said, "I don't like it" and would not take another bite. Not lite and fluffy very heavy and dense. batter was extremely thick. Not enough strawberry flavor and not sweet enough. We don't use butter or syrup at our house typically on waffles, so maybe these are fine for those who doctor them up after.

These consistency of the batter was far too thick, so I had to thin it out with additional milk. The strawberry flavor wasn't terribly strong, so I added 1/4 c strawberry jam to the wet ingredients, which helped. My husband enjoyed them, so I guess that works for me, though I may not use this recipe again.

These were fairly easy to make and didn't stick to my waffle maker. To me you could you just barely taste the strawberries. I felt they weren't flavorful enough and not fluffy enough. Maybe more liquid would have helped. The batter was pretty thick. Good enough but not great.

These were great waffles! I did add a little strawberry yogurt b/c I had it and thought the consistency was a little thick. I also used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose to give them a little added health factor. DS loved these as did we. Made for Zaar Cookbook tag game.

I LOVE these pretty pink, light fluffy waffles. They are not only a delight to look at but the taste is so fresh and good and they go together quick and easy. I did have to add quite a bit more milk - about 1/4 cup - but that was probably because my strawberries were firm and not as juicy. Other than that made as directed in my Belgium Waffle Iron, topped with vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberry slices and whipcream. Was enjoyed by all, specially the DGSs and I'll be making this many times in the future.
