Just wanted to let you know – this is my favorite waffles recipe! I’ve made it many times the past 2 years or so. A couple times, I made the “regular” waffles recipe (first Google result for waffle recipes), and it was super disappointing. These are satisfying AND tasty. I do tend to add a tablespoon of sugar. I also recommend melting your honey into the melted butter before combining – it’s so much easier. Thanks for a favorite!
These were great! Kids and I loved it.
Pancakes are great for breakfast and snack. You can even put some of your favorite food like chocolate chips or chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, corn and you can even put bacon and you will surely enjoy.
It doesn’t seem worth dirtying a blender for 30 seconds. Would a stick blender work for this? It’s easier to clean.
Hi! Let us know how that works. ;)
