So this recipe and I go way back! Since I turned 30 this year so I feel like I can make it sound like an eternity! This is the kind of recipe that you have to invite over family and friends when you make it because if you don’t, they may no longer count you as a friend! It is that good-no joke!
I have used this recipe over and over again. I found the recipe in high school and my family fell in love with it! I serve it with fresh whipped cream, which takes it over the top! It is best when you make it the night before so the batter has time to merry and thicken. I also used this waffle recipe when I ran a restaurant and hosted these beautiful Sunday brunch buffets. Nonetheless the waffles were a huge hit!
A tip when making them is to cream the fats and add in some of the flour to make a thick paste before slowly adding in the liquid. The reason for this is because if you don’t you may have clumps, which isn’t a huge deal but just keep in mind when mixing.
