      Wonderful. They were indeed light as a feather inside. My wife really enjoyed them, especially since she didn't have to cook...I mean...after I threw in some blueberries. I've retired my previous 'favorite' waffle recipe from the back of the Bisquick box...(shudder)

      These truly are the best belgian waffles Ive ever had. Ive made MANY kinds of waffles in the past, but I think Ive found my absolute favorite. Honestly, I dont think I will continue to look for another belgian waffle recipe. They couldnt possibly get any better than this! Thank you SO MUCH marie for this wonderful recipe. My only suggestions would be to either mention to follow your waffle irons cooking instructions, or to include actual cooking instructions in your recipe :-) Again..thanks for this wonderful recipe. Thank you..From my entire family!!!

      I was looking for a recipe to use in my new Kitchenaid Pro Line waffle maker. I chose this one because someone said that this one is so good they don't want to try any others, and that it's crisp outside and so light inside. It's true! I feel no need to try any other recipes, and that is unusual for me! I used half cake flour and half white whole wheat. I did add about a tsp of vanilla and 2 tbsp malted milk powder. I ended up with a waffle as good as any I've had at a restaurant--where I'd pay $6-$8 for it. The whole family was delighted, and my boys asked if I'm make them every night. I had to say no to that but we will be making them often!!!! I got 6 waffles from my Kitchenaid.

      We really liked these. This was the third recipe that I have tried for Belgian Waffles and this is our favorite so far. I used 1 cup white and 1 cup whole wheat flour and they were great still fluffy and crispy. I did add 1 tsp vanilla.

      Made 10 waffle squares (4"); I added vanilla as well, but think it unnecessary if you plan to use topping like syrup or jam. The maple syrup soaked in, but the waffle still remained fairly crispy - YUM!

      I wanted to update our review because we froze these and then toasted them in the mornings during the week and they were soooo good! We're going to add a little vanilla and some blueberries next time.

      Perfect. Added a little vanilla based on previous cooks' reviews. We loved them and I got six large Belgian waffles. No need to EVER use a boxed mix again! Thanks!

      These are awesome waffles! I have been trying different recipes from here since I got my waffle maker about a month ago, and these are the best by far. I have been looking for a recipe that tastes like Eggos (crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside) and this is the closest one yet. The flavor is 1,000 times better than Egoos though! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.

      Very good! We just had these for breakfast and loved them! I too added vanilla and increased the sugar a bit. They turned out perfect!!!

      LOVED IT!!

      I searched high and low for a great recipe for my new Belgian waffle iron and I found the best with this one. After making it exactly by the recipe a few times, I modified it slightly (though it was already delicious the way it was :-) They are light, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside when freshly made.

      My modifications were:

      1) adding 1 tsp vanilla
      2) adding 1 Tb malted milk powder
      3) being more generous with the sugar with a heaping scoop, not a leveled-off cup

      My kids both love these waffles and the recipe is easy to follow and even turns out well when you goof, LOL.... I mistakenly added twice as much oil with one batch and they were still wonderful!

      I make a half recipe of these which still makes 4.5 large waffles on my George Foreman grill/waffle iron. (And I cook the waffles according to my appliance's instructions, 425 for 7-8 minutes.) What we don't eat then gets stored in a freezer bag for later. They do get soft/chewy after they cool down or are stored in refrigerator, but they are still delicious! Just microwave for a few seconds and enjoy. My toddler likes them plain as a snack, they are that sweet and tasty. And I like that they aren't "crumby" for him to eat when not in his high chair.

      HOLY PERFECT WAFFLES BATMAN!!!! I have tried a few other belgian waffles without getting that perfect light as air texture, this recipe nails it! I subbed vanilla rice milk, as it was all I had on hand, and they still came out perfect!!!! I served with fresh strawberries and a very light drizzle of real maple syrup. Absolute breakfast perfection!

      I've made this recipes several times now and it is perfect for our Belgian Waffle maker. My husband loves them. Light yet crispy and delicious. Made these in my Cuisinart Belgian Waffle maker so they are rather large and deep, this recipe made about 11 waffles. Enough for an enjoyable breakfast and some leftover for the freezer for popping in the toaster at a later date, which works perfectly. Thank you for sharing this recipe it is the "Bestest" recipe we have tried and is a keeper!

      Loved this recipe! It was simple (which is handy in this house, since the kids like to help), didn't require as much oil/butter as others waffle recipes, and they were quite light and fluffy. I did add half a tsp of vanilla, but otherwise left the recipe as is. Also, probably due in part to the lower oil quantity, I would recommend spraying the waffle maker with Pam in between waffles. I will definitely be using this again...and again!

      Thank you! it's foolproof. We got a Waring Pro Belgian waffle iron for Christmas. (The recipes included were less than stellar) It is the bomb with this recipe! We have substituted whole wheat flour, Brown rice flour, no yolks, Splenda instead of sugar, no oil and recipe as written and it's all good! I'm trying to keep a bowl of batter in the fridge as the kids ask for waffles before school. I do spray the iron with Pam between waffles.

      A very good waffle recipe. I added a tablespoon of malted milk powder to make them crispier.

      Very good waffle recipe! THANK YOU! Only takes a minute to whip up the egg whites so I did'nt consider that to be a time consuming addition to the recipe. I think that's the key to these being so light & fluffy. We made some plain & for the rest, we chopped up cooked bacon & added to the batter. One problem I ran into, not with the recipe, but with my waffle maker, I did'nt have a manual & could'nt find one online, spent more time just finding a recipe/site that would just give me some idea of how much batter to use & how long to cook! Finally tried trial & error & will put here for anyone else who needs an estimate or starting point. My belgian waffle maker is a magic chef model tsk-240b & I used between 3/4 & 1 cup batter & cook time was 3 minutes. Made 6 waffles. Hope that helps.

      I made a complete pig of myself last night with these waffles! I have NEVER had such amazing waffles. I didn't even want to ruin them with syrup and butter! DH didn't have this same problem (chuckle) and loved filling those pockets with lots of both! Made 16- 4"x4" deep belgian waffles. I took your suggestion, Marie and left the waffles in a good long time..till the outsides were a deep brown (more than golden brown). For my waffle maker (Villaware Uno Belgian 6 waffle maker) that was about 5 minutes per batch plus 1 minute to preheat the griddle before pouring again so keeping the other waffles warm in the oven was important. Not to worry, the waffles in the oven remained crispy on the outside and soft on the inside..and the fresh ones were absolutely fantastic. The flavor of these plain reminded me of funnel cakes at the fair. Incredible and really, we could not stop eating them. A note about pouring..the batter puffs up because of the baking powder so you will probably need a spatula or spoon to help you spread the batter around the griddle so you get it in all the squares. And, if you have never made waffles before, just get the batter level with the recessed area for the batter. Ridiculously good. Oh yeah, this is SO going in my tried and true cookbook. I bet this would make fab pancakes too! I KNOW it would make good copycat McGriddle cakes (same flavor) using a egg poacher ring, maybe to get the height? Hmmmm....Thanks for sharing such a gem, Marie.
