I added the baking powder to the yeast because my kids didn't like the "yeasty" flavor. The only complaint was that the waffles aren't crispy or crunchy like the commercial frozen waffles. I've cooked them longer and also tried toasting them, but " it ain't the real thing". Is there anything else I can do? You could try substituting vegetable oil for the butter; and make sure you're using the full 6 tablespoons. Beyond that, it may be that your kids simply don't like this style of waffle, which is crisp on the outside, but soft inside... So perhaps try a different recipe? And try to use an iron that makes the flatter, American-style waffles, which tend to be crisper. Good luck - PJ
