"I got this recipe off Epicurious.com. It is supposed to be from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook by Marion Cunningham. These are the best waffles I have ever had. They are incredibly light and airy. I like to eat them with maple syrup and whipped cream. Prep time DOES NOT include sitting overnight. Cook time is per waffle."

These were great, Fanny Farmer knew what she was talking about. I think that maybe the chef who gave you one star forgot to turn on the waffle iron. :)

Very yummy! We have dairy allergies, so I substituted 2 cups of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. And instead of sugar I used about 1 TB of pure maple syrup. They were gobbled up by everyone!

I've been making these for years. I think that they're so good that I can eat them plain.

I've been making these for years. My favorite waffle recipe; extra crispy and fabulous flavor. They freeze well and heat up wonderfully in the toaster. Thank you for posting this; it will save me the time looking up the recipe in my old Fannie Farmer cookbook.

I followed this recipe exactly (!) and my waffles weren't crispy, the batter was runny and the waffles became REAAAY soggy after putting syrup on them. I dumped the whole bowl of batter down the sink, after only 2 waffles.

A very good recipe - I loved it. A few healthy tips - I replaced the butter with 2 tablespoons of oil, replaced some of the flour with ground up oats and oat bran and added some cinnamon (don't use too much!) and some vanilla essence. I found they were crispy on the outside and tender inside. They were also great frozen and reheated in the toaster. I would reccomend this recipe over and above your standard no-yeast waffle recipe - much more tasty!
