Yum, oh, yum oh yum! Tastes just like pound cake for breakfast. My only disappointment is that it only made 4-5 waffles. With 1 c sugar and 1/2 c butter, I kinda expected a lot more. Will use these as my base for strawberry shortcake this summer. And they'd be great for waffles & ice cream. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe was very good. The orange zest gave it a nice flavor and the waffles were light and delicious.
