I mixed up a double batch and between the five of us including three teens,the waffles were disappearing as fast as I could cook them.My wife was sceptical at first because of the yeast in the recipe but she also loved them.We did fresh whipped cream with fresh fruits.

was really pleased with the way these waffles turned out... didn't seem to be to complicated. They were crisp on the outside and tender inside.. will make over and over.

Yum, Yum, Yum. This recipe takes a little more time than some without the yeast.... Your effort will be rewarded! Made a batch last nite, froze the leftover, reheated some in the toaster oven this morning and my children were happy all over again! Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

These were yummy. I used whole wheat flour instead of white and they were still terrific. They are a little more work than I'm used to for waffles...but it was well worth it!

These waffles were delicious. My kids couldn't eat them fast enough. They were soft inside, and fluffy enough to be filling. We will have these again for sure!

These made a lovely Sunday breakfast. I have no doubt that the recipe as posted makes a great waffle. Yet, I made a few changes to jack up the health factor. I used 2 T oil instead of the 1/2 c (8 T) of butter to reduce the fat, and I used a combination of bread, white whole wheat, and soy flours to increase the protein. Tasted great, and provided a lovely texture. My son loved them cut into strips for dipping into his syrup. I loved them with soynut butter and strawberry fruit spread. Thanks for posting.
