Waffle House Waffles- Copycat

These waffles were fantastic. They were very light and fluffy. After reading the reviews I tried a combination of all of the suggestions. Many said the waffles were too sweet, and eavey mentioned adding malt, so I simply replaced the 1/2 c sugar with 1/2 c malt and that really did the trick. Thank you eavey for the malt idea. I think that just really gave these waffles the taste they needed. I did need to use more than 1/2 c batter. I actually needed more like 1 c batter. Maybe my waffle iron is larger or maybe it was the change I made. ?????

Wow! Best waffle recipe ever. I'm a huge fan of Waffle House Pecan Waffles. I've never been able to make anything at home that came close to theirs. This one tastes just like Waffle House. Another reviewer suggested adding malt to the recipe. I added 1/4 cup Carnation Original Malted Milk powder to the egg & sugar mixture. That puts it over the top. This will be the ONLY waffle recipe we ever use from now on. Thanks for sharing!

I made this this morning and thou I have never ate at a Waffle House I loved them. I did not have Buttermilk so I use 1/4 cup more half and half in its place. I like the amount that it makes for I can freeze some for later. I love the fact that you don't have to beat egg whites for like 5 minutes and then fold them in later. I will be using this one again.

I worked at a Waffle House while in college in Atlanta, GA in the late 1960's and while the waffle recipe is a secret I did learn that the recipe contains malted milk powder. Like others here I believe the 1/2 cup of sugar is an error and when replaced with about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of Carnation Malted Milk Powder this recipe get about a close to a Waffle House waffle as I have ever had.

This is a great recipe have been using it for weeks. It actually makes better waffles than Waffle House. Today I made about 24 of them and froze them that works great. I added 2 tbs of cinnamon to the batter and they are delicious. If you like Waffles you will love this it's Grrrrrrrrrrreat!

We just sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans on top of the batter in the waffle iron, instead of to the bowl. This way you can have pecan waffles or plain, since not everyone eats nuts. Grew up with Waffle House, and the malt is definitely key to getting their exact flavor.

Yummy! This was a great recipe, will be making this often. I didn't have half & half (substituted evaporated milk) or buttermilk (added a little lemon juice to regular milk and let set for a few minutes), and it still came out very good! Thanks for posting, SGJ!

Delicious waffles! I have always just made Bisquick waffles, but these were great. I used milk soured with lemon juice for the buttermilk and just used skim milk for the half and half and milk and it worked fine. I did decrease the sugar and also added malt powder based on other recommendations. These were great and the yield was right on for us.

Oh my! These really taste like the real McCoy! After my husband took his first bite I asked him if they reminded him of the WH. He said, "Oh my gosh, they absolutely do! This is a keeper!". The only negative I have is that they wouldn't crisp up for me and I really like crispy waffles. However, they are still worthy of the highest rating because not everybody likes crispy waffles.

I tried this recipe and found that that waffles would just fall apart. I was unable to get even an section out of the waffle iron without it just crumbling. they make wonderful pancakes though.

We just bought 3 lbs bag of waffle house waffle mix for $5, just add buttermilk or half and half and eggs.

I found the batter to be quite runny and the waffles to be limp. I definitely cooked them for long enough too. I will stick to my Cook's Ilustrated buttermilk waffle recipe or yeasted overnight waffle recipe. They have better texture and more depth of flavor.
