i just finished eating them. they were OK i saw that some people gave it 1 star reveiws so had to see the truth for myself. They were kinda dry and stuck to the iron a little. They definetly werent easy to make. i think that aunt jemimah waffles taste better though. I probably wont make them again without modifying the recipe. Read More

More challenging to make than your traditional waffle but definitely worth the work. I also had problems with the waffles sticking to the iron though. Any ideas for preventing this? I brushed the iron with oil between each set of waffles. Still I think they're worth the extra work and bother. Read More

Luckily I read the reviews before I made this. I really think the cornstarch is supposed to be CORNMEAL. That is what I used. I also added about a half cup more of flour to thicken up the batter. Waffles were still kind of bland Read More

This recipe is good but I hate to say not the best. It is your basic waffle recipe only a bit more cornstarch than most recipes... but the flavor didn't seem to be affected by it. It is best for the occasion when you're making a special topping for them:) Read More

1/2 cup cornstarch...you're kidding me. It amazes me how a recipe can have such opposing reviews. There are much easier tastier waffle recipes on this website. Unless you love the taste of cornstarch and flour. Read More
