I made these last weekend and served with strawberries and whipped cream. I had mixed resultss. I made a double batch of batter the night before and it rose up very well. In the morning the batter seemed partly fluffy and partly thin and watery. I was not sure if I should stir it up or not. I made a few without stirring but did stir towards the end. The waffles turned out light and crispy but were not full. After pouring the batter on the bottom of the iron and closing the lid it never fully rose up the fill the top half of the iron. I tried adding more batter on the next attempt but it just poured out of the edges and still didn't quite fill all the way up.
I have been using Krusteaz belgian waffle mix for years and absolutely love it. Now, I am not usually a mix type of girl but I think I'll stick with this one.
Sorry this recipe did not work for you the next day. Even in the blog pictures you can see some separation after the overnight rest. Do stir the batter to smooth it and the waffles should work! We're glad you tried the old-school method of making waffles, but sometimes time constraints call for mixes! Have you considered our Belgian Waffle Mix? Irene @ KAF
