  • “I did this by the book but they were a tid bit too dry for me. I’ll try to use buttermilk next time maybe it will make a difference.”

  • “This made a nice light waffle with a hint of cinnamon. Pretty easy to prepare. Thanks Gail Stines. Bullwinkle.”

  • “Thanks for this recipe Gail.It was definitely VERY light. We loved it. My mother always beat the egg whites and folded them in(for waffles OR pancakes) and this, I think, is the trick to light pancakes or waffles.Thanks again!”

  • “The waffle was fluffy and crispy but too eggy tasting for me. My preschools loves it. “

  • “This was a very easy recipe and produced wonderful tasting waffles.I love the mix of buttermilk, cinnamon and vanilla.Topped with maple syrup these were great.”

  • “This recipe tasted wonderful on a cold rainy morning. The cinnamon adds a good color and nice flavor that is complimented well with maple syrup.”

  • “I have been craving good homemade waffles lately. This recipe was unbelieveable. The texture was light and fluffy. I used 1 teaspoon vanilla but that was the only change I made. Your suggestion of freezing the left-over waffles is a great idea. Thanks Gail, these are worth getting up a little eariler to make for the family.”
