Everything about these is great - love the ground oats, whole wheat, and nuts that make it feel hearty and whole. My one issue was that I couldn't get the middle to cook - it stays goopy, while the outside cooks (or burns!) I've tried to thin the batter a bit with milk. Is that the issue? Other suggestions? -
How “freshly fed” does the starter have to be. I fed mine yesterday evening at 930 pm. It’s now almost 10 am. Or should I feed it and wait a few hours? Thanks! -
I was wondering if I could make these the evening before?

These are DELICIOUS! They are very dense and filling. I added additional spices because I like cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger/cloves--in addition to the pumpkin pie spice. I just needed 1/4 cup of milk. Batter is very thick. I put them in the toaster oven to crisp up a bit before eating. This recipe is a keeper.

YOU'VE GOT A GREAT WAFFLE RECIPE HERE! Made these pretty much as indicated! Used pumpkin puree & toasted pecans for a satisfying breakfast! Even pumped up the main taste by using pumpkin butter, then topped it all with some light corn syrup! VERY, VERY NICE! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my partners in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #22]

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
