Oh YUM! Made these for DH's birthday breakfast and he RAVED! Anything with beer he generally loves, so I had a hunch he'd like these! They don't make crispy waffles, more waxy, but they have wonderful flavor. I used an imported german hefeweissen and topped 'em with homemade blueberry syrup and powdered sugar.
