"Crispy waffles on the outside and tender on the inside. These are great anytime. Serve them topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream for dessert or top with warm maple syrup for a true breakfast treat."

  1. If I'd prefer not to use milk powder... what should I do? :))
     
  2. Great waffles. It is time consuming to proof starter and one hour rise time but with excellent results. Served with syrup.
     
  3. I made this recipe for supper this evening, and both my husband and I thought it was excellent. I will definitely make this again.
     
  4. This was an awesome recipe. I was just looking for something differant to do with my Russian Sourdough Starter (a gift from Donna) and came across this. I'm so glad I did as these are the BEST I've ever had. Light and fluffy and the taste is sooooo good, not to sweet, and only a light background taste of the sourdough. We served it with wild blackberries (gathered from the forest last fall and quick frozen) topped with fresh whipped cream; Yummy, and maple sausage links with hot coffee. My DH's favorite breakfast from now on. It does take a little planning to make allow for proofing and rising time, but oh so worth it. Don't think I'll ever make a differant type of belgium waffle again. Thanks PaulaG for a wonderful treat.
     
  5. This is a great waffle recipe! I used Smart Balance butter and half white whole wheat flour and they came out fantastic. Great, great recipe to go with Recipe#137962 - it tasted like a super yummy breakfast sandwich!

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.
