Aretha Frankenstein's Waffles of Insane Greatness

Loved the waffles. Thank you!

I would prefer to use butter instead of oil. I came up with separating the eggs and folding in the beaten whites, adding orange or lemon zest and pecans. I do on occasion use buttermilk.

These waffles are amazing! I have made several waffle recipes in hopes of finding one that met all my expectations. These are, light and airy, crispy yet also have some substance to them. They go very well with pure maple syrup. They freeze very well, heat up in the toaster oven or an oven on low. These are most definitely our Sunday go-to recipe. I make the batch in doubles, which gives about 6-7 waffles, 3 for breakfast and freeze the remaining. The last time I made them, I had to get them going quickly so I let the batter sit for about 15 minutes, instead of the 30 that the recipe indicated... they turned out totally fine. So if you are in a rush, don't sweat it!

Unfortunately this is not the best waffle recipe. Maybe the easiest, but not the best. The batter is too thin and waffles are too oily and tasteless. The best waffle recipe is Marion Cunningham's from her "The Breakfast Book." Her recipe has several fussy steps, but produces great waffles.

These waffles are so delicious! Light, crisp and tasty. I used butter and separated the egg yolk and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and folded in. I always do that with pancake and waffle batter.

These are soooooo gooooood. I just bought a new Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker.

OMG, this recipe is fabulous!!!! Makes a puffy waffle, crisp edges, chewy yet tender inside, light as air.

These have been my go-to waffles for a few years, but oh my goodness, they climb an entire nother notch when you toss some blueberries in before you close the waffle-press.

I recently tested these out for my new stovetop waffler. I used all buttermilk, but separated the egg white and whipped with a pinch of cream of tartar until soft peaks. I then folded the whites into the batter (that was not quite mixed all the way as to not over mix). It was a lumpy batter, (a good thing!) and I did not let it sit. They were amazing! We ate them two nights in a row!

I tried this today. Easy to make and most importantly delicious. My children who usually will only eat waffles slathered with Nutella or honey, devoured these plain. I followed the recipe and checked the comments section for tips before proceeding, I appreciate one commentator who included the measurement in metrics as I am used to using scale.

I’ve been making this recipe for over 7 years. I always make several times the recipe and freeze a bunch.

These waffles are amazing! I was initially concerned with the thin batter, but they came out nice and fluffy. I noticed the serving size and doubled the recipe. There were just enough for our family of six. This is our new go-to waffle recipe!

Let batter set 30 minutes & it was still thin and they didn’t rise when cooking. What did I do wrong? Tasted good but I’ve never had a flat waffle!?! Can anyone tell me my mistake? The picture 👀 looks delish😘

Super easy and delicious! I didn't have any buttermilk or milk so I used almond (unsweetened/no flavor) with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and it worked perfectly. Waffles were fluffy and had a nice thin crust.

My husband made it today....it came out greasy and flat. I don't know what went wrong.

Great recipe! I think this will be my Go-To-Waffle recipe for those days when you just want a waffle.

Soooo good!! My only complaint about this recipe is it didn't make very many waffles, only about 3. And we definitely wanted more!

do these freeze well??

I was looking for a simple waffle recipe. Normally waffles are time consuming (folding egg whites to keep them fluffy or yeasted). But this recipe didn't need that. I was intrigued (and doubtful). Tried them yesterday and I was very impressed. The waffles got so fluffy while in the waffle maker and a nice crispy exterior when done. I even made another batch today to put in the freezer, as they toasted up nicely this morning. I will definitely be making these again and again. I used buttermilk, so that might have helped with the fluffiness. Such a lovely lightness to the waffles. So glad I tried this recipe. Thanks!

Made these this morning. They were very tasty. Sadly, our 1960's GE waffle maker just didn't work well enough to make these waffles as fluffy and crispy as I know they would have been given the proper equipment. I really think this recipe should have been written doubled the amt. to begin with. I had a total of 4 people to feed and didn't double the recipe to start with. Will make again.

Just made these for my family tonight. They loved them - OMG are they good. Krustees has just been banned from my kitchen. thx
