My DH and I loved the flavor of these waffles and the directions were clear. Prep time took me longer than the 5 minutes (took a while to whip up the egg whites.) I have a 4 square waffle maker and I really had to stretch the batter and I certainly didn't have any to freeze for later. Next time I will double the amount of batter. Thanks for posting Kimke.Â

I have made these several times (with no substitutions) and they have become our favorite waffles. They have a nice crispness on the outside and a wonderful flavor. The small batch size is perfect for serving the two of us. The only tricky part is figuring out how much batter to put into the waffle iron since it is so thick.Â

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
