"A friend of mine shared this recipe with me, and I have made waffles this way ever since. They are so light, slightly sweet, and just perfect served with fresh fruit and a little whipped cream, or syrup. A wonderful way to start the day. Hope you enjoy them too."

Unfortunately these weren't much of a hit at our house. Too gummy, way too sweet, and we felt kind of sick to our stomachs after eating just a normal portion. I think it's because we eat so much healthy food that the amount of sugar and butter in the waffles just did us in.

This was a wonderful recipe. I don't like my waffles super sweet, I'd rather get the sweetness from fruit or syrup so I cut the sugar down to 1/4 cup and reduced the milk to 1 1/4 cups. They had great texture and flavor. I will definitely use this recipe again.

The texture was crispy the way I like them, but way to sweet. I had to almost burn them to get them to cook all the way in my Belgian waffle maker. I will make it again but next time with less sugar.
