Aha! Perfection. Great texture and flavor for the perfect waffle! I've made a few other recipes that tasted fine but were just too dense or stiff to absorb the syrup the way I wanted. THIS is what I was looking for! Thanks for posting!! -
These are wonderful! They really are light and fairly crispy, which is what we were looking for. I did add some vanillas, cinnamon, and extra sugar and we were really happy with the flavor. Thanks so much for an easy and tasty waffle recipe. :) -
I just got a new waffle iron and have been testing recipes out from recipezaar, this is the one we like best so far. The are crispy and light and a cinch to whip together. I did not beat the whites separately but just whirled to eggs around in my blender till they were fluffy. I added a bit more sugar about 2T and about 2t. of vanilla to the batter. Thanks for the great recipe.

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
