This is a soft waffle. A childhood favorite.
I subtracted a teaspoon of milk and added a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Other than that, I kept to the recipe. These waffles were crisp on the outside but soft on the inside--very fluffy. I served these with homemade raspberry sauce and we all loved them. NOTE: When I whipped the egg whites, I made sure to chill my Kitchen Aid mixer bowl and the whipping attachment itself before trying to whip them. I really only had an hour but that was just enough time to give me the help I needed. My egg whites seemed to whip up faster and they were quite fluffy.
Read MoreThese are ok, but they're a bit heavy even with the egg whites. They also stuck to my waffle iron. I had to add more oil. I doubled the butter, added 3/4 cup of milk, and added 1 tsp baking soda to lighten them up. That made them light & fluffy but crisp on the outside & they didn't stick.

These waffles were delicious. I used this recipe for my first time trying waffles. I did add 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon since another reviewer suggested this. I'll definitely make these again.

For some strange reason when I tried to make this it didn't come out very tasty. I was hard as a rock and tasteless can anybody tell me what I did wrong? I would like to try and make it again but I'm afriad it's just going to be a waste like last time but maybe I'll try it again tomorrow morning.
Great waffle receipe. Light, fluffy, great taste, and easy to prepare. Keeper!
Crunchy, chewy and tasty! What more could you want? Though I found when I didn't use a belgium waffle iron they didn't come out quite as nice.
This is my new "go to" waffle recipe. I did make a couple of small changes though. I added about 1tsp of vanilla and I subbed melted butter for the oil. Fabulous!
Excellent results the very first time I tried it.
My first attempt at "from scratch" waffles. My kids thought this was great! My daughter usually picks at everything but ate everything on her plate. I did change the amount of eggs (3) as other reviewer mentioned.
These waffles turned out great. They were so thick and fluffy! I'll never use another waffle recipe again!!!
VERY GOOD! Made this for mother's day brunch and everyone loved it! Will do this one again.. and again.. and again!
I made these for brunch today. They were great! I added a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla. With the egg whites I whipped them extra long. My daughter called them "fat waffle pancakes" I think that is a good thing, she ate them all up!:) This is a keeper! Thank you Mary
I did not find this recipe any better than going the quick route with my trusty Krusteaz.
These are the best waffles I've ever eaten. If you follow the recipe exactly, you will know what I mean - this beats "waffles in a box" hands down. The secret to the fluffiness is to whip the egg whites for a while - and folding them in separately from the yolks. (If you don't separate the eggs and whip them, you might get a chewy, heavier waffle). As my son has a milk allergy we used rice milk and it turned out just as delicious - you couldn't detect the difference.
These waffles are ok....too much egg taste though. I added a pinch of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp. of vanilla, they were much better. Next time, I would only use three eggs though.
These were OK - nothing special. It was my first attempt at waffles from scratch, and I found that I like Bisquick waffles better. These had a very chewy consistency that I didn't care for.
They tasted pretty good! However I was hoping for that same taste that I get from a restaurant buffet. I will definatly make these again but I will try with a little more sugar to sweeten them up!
I searched for a waffle recipe because I had buttermilk leftover from something else. This recipe doesn't call for buttermilk, but I used it in place of the milk called for, and the result was wonderful. The kids ate 3 helpings! We ran out of syrup halfway through, so I ate most of mine plain. They were crispy and very flavorful. Yum.
I used this recipe today for the first time with my brand new waffle maker. I added 1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla, to make it just a tad sweeter and we all loved it here! I have a smaller waffle maker (makes 2 at a time) and each waffle was about a 1/2 cup of batter, so I ended up with 10 waffles. Definitely a keeper! Thanks!
I've tried many recipes out there. These were golden and crisp...but not too crisp. And the batter is so fluffy. Beating the egg whites take extra time, but it is so worth it. I did add vanilla flavoring (I do that to anything I bake anyway). Plus I did add a pinch of cinnamon and grated nutmeg, not enough to overpower the waffle, but just to deepen the taste experience since my waffle syrup isn't the best. With young kids who drown their waffles in syrup, I don't buy the real maple syrup often. If I had a good maple syrup I might not add the cinnamon and nutmeg. However, we will make this recipe at least twice a month if not more.
There is no flavor to these. Maybe think about adding so vanilla and sub real butter melted for the oil. I found another recipe that didn't take as much time and was so much better. Back to the drawing board.
This was my first attempt at making waffles from scratch and I'm proud to say that it was a SUCCESS!!! I highly recommend this simple recipe for DELICIOUS waffles!
I have to say that these are the best waffles I have ever had!! I couldn't believe how fluffy they were!! For those who like their waffles crispy, just cook a little longer. I substituted buttermilk for the milk, since I had it on hand. The beaten egg whites are what help make the waffles so fluffy, I certainly wouldn't skip that step. I normally have trouble with my waffles sticking, but not with these. The l/2 cup of oil helps with that problem. This is a keeper!! Thank you so much for sharing!
This was pretty good. My kids enjoyed it and we ate all of them. The only complaint is that they were a little heavy. I would have liked to see them a bit fluffier.
These are the best Ive ever had. I put a teaspoon and a half of vanilla in and I also used buttermilk instead of regular milk.
This is without a doubt the best quick and easy waffle I have ever tasted. It's light and fluffy and toasts up very well days later in the toaster or rewarmed in the microwave. Well worth a try.
I tried many other waffle recipes but this one came out the best by far! These waffles are thick, fluffy, and delicious. They are also very easy to make. I would recommend them to anyone.
This recipe came out great, but I didn't follow the recipe all the way. I put bananas, lemon flavor, and almond flavor. Plus my special whipping cream, but it is a secret whipping cream{homemade}
These were pretty good. I've made several waffle recipes, and frankly, can't much tell the difference. But I liked these - they froze well and reheated fine. I made this exactly as written; but I always have trouble getting that "beat egg whites until stiff" step. Definitely worth making again.
I didn't think this recipe was worth the little bit of extra work. They were soft but seemed almost soggy. I guess my family prefers the crispier version waffle.
These were good. A little egg-y tasting. I added 2 tsp vanilla, dash of nutmeg, and a generous sprinkly of cinnamon. I didn't seperate my eggs - too much work! Maybe that's why they tasted egg-y.
These waffles are very good, but a little too sweet, the second time I made them I used a teaspoon of sugar instead of a tablespoon.
Delicious and simple!
There are delicious and easy to make. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the egg/milk/oil mixture.
After searching for many recipes to try I decided on this one first based on all the reviews. I was disappointed. It was very blah to me. I added vanilla, otherwise doubled the recipe and went for it. The search is on for yet another awesome waffle recipe.
Good waffles though nothing spectacular about them. My husband made them and followed the recipe as written.
This is the fifth waffle recipe I've tried, and this is my favorite so far and will probably stopping looking for a basic waffle. The texture is perfect! Did add some pumkin spices to the batter. Very very happy with this recipe! Thanks..
I have used this recipe for years and it is the best waffle recipe I have ever had. I have to make these every time my granddaughter visist. We love these.
Great recipe! I added a teaspoon of vanilla and these turned out great. My daughter loved them so much she ate six! Good stuff. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much..This is a recipe that I lost 3 years ago during a move. I have searched and searched and finally found it on here. Thank you again...the best waffles ever!!!
My daughter (15) gave me a waffle iron for Christmas and she made these waffles for me Christmas morning! I simply love them! She did add vanilla and cinnamon for a festive feel. The eggy texture is wonderful. I've made them for my daughter as well, several times since the New Year. I serve them with homemade strawberry butter and pure maple syrup. Simply delicious and fast.
I am very picky when it comes to waffles, but this recipe was perfect! I have some picky eaters around that don't like crispy waffles, this recipe allows you to have a more or less crispy waffle and both are delicious. I did add some vanilla and a little cinnamon, but the base recipe is so easy to make. It definitely takes the difficulty out of fresh waffles first thing in the morning!
This recipe is really lovely! I just made it a few minutes ago. I love how fluffy the egg whites make the batter. The texture of the cooked waffles is excellent; crispy outside, soft and fluffy inside. The taste is slightly sweet and the color, golden. Thank you for this recipe! Delicious!
We tried this recipe and it was very good. Easy to make and delicious.It tastes like the ones my Mom and Dad used to make when we were at home.
Yum! I thought I would try a new waffle recipe this morning.... and am I glad I did! This will definitely replace my old one. Thank you for sharing!
really delicious, eggy recipe, without that weird oily aftertaste that waffles with too much leavening get. versatile, and worth the labor, in my opinion. very impressive, but not very fast. cooks very evenly. I always add some nutmeg and cinnamon for a little extra flavor, but the recipe as is is also good.
I guess the highest compliment would be the one my daughter made, "Mom they taste just like eggs!" They taste great! Thanks for recipe
Great recipe! Simple and easier than I expected! I only had whole wheat flour in the house, but it worked. The waffles were fluffy and delicious even with the whole wheat flour. I added a little vanilla and wheat germ. I was such a proud mama watching my girls gobble them up with a little Nutella.
I'd have to say I'm pleased. Good texture, stayed together in the waffle iron, came right out when it appeared to be done.
This was awesome.... will keep this recipe but I think I will try the melted butter next time and I will make a double batch..... was really good with chicken and gravy! thanks
Waffles were fabulous with the following tweaks: I doubled the amount of baking powder, added 1 tsp orange extract (to recipe for 6 servings), and used real butter (melted) instead of vegetable oil.
very good,will use recipe again.
These waffles came out perfect. For the uninitiated, like me, I found that cooking them on high, if your wafflemaker has temperature settings, for four minutes, works just fine. I sprayed the waffle maker with vegetable spray between each batch, because I have a history of having waffles stick and making a big mess.
These were kind of a pain to make with all the extra dirty bowls but were very good. It's a good idea to spray the waffle iron with cooking spray, even if it's non-stick. I use 1/3 cup batter in each well for my waffle maker. I cook mine for 2 1/2 minutes. Makes 13 light, crispy, and airy waffles. Very good!
Too eggy for my tastes (that's all they tasted like!). The batter was very runny, so they turned out rather thin. I would have expected loftier waffles with the extra step of folding in whipped egg whites. Won't make again.
These are the best waffles I have ever tasted. They were so light and fluffy, my husband just loved them and he's not a big fan of waffles. Thanks so much for a great recipe!!!
Easy, fluffy, and great flavor. If this is your first time making waffles I highly suggest following this recipe exactly.
These waffles were delicious! Unlike other reviewers, we definitely didn't think they tasted like frozen or other commercial brands. The only downside for us was that they took enough time to make, serve and eat (about 40 minutes), that they will probably be a weekend treat for us.
my first time making waffles but have eaten many shop brought and in the wafflehouse. I found this recipe on my fav recipe site, and i must say they are not deluxe but awesome and dreamy. my husband loved them thanks mary great recipe :)
This recipe was delicious! Even in my cheepo waffle iron they were super fluffy with a tiny bit of crisp on the outside. Perfect! I made half a recipe, and it was just right for two hungry people - I ate two, my husband ate three (he gives it a seven star rating!). Thanks!
Yum! Tender spongey waffle. My one year old baby would like this waffle with strawberry and maple syrup for dinner EVERY NIGHT forever. It took 3 bowls to mix but it was very easy and both the one year old and my two year old enjoyed helping. We will be making this recipe again.
These tasted to bready. The recipe called "waffles 1" was much better. These ones were light and fluffy but even though I added vanilla, they still had no flavor. I think there was too much egg. It made it seem very bland. I think I"ll stick with "waffles 1"
Good, but not great. They are simple, so if you want to highlight a topping or fresh fruit they are a great companion!
Good, but without adding more sweetness (sugar or syrup), it's not what I'm looking for.
Amazing! I added 1tsp of each: Cinnaman, nutmeg,allspice and 1/2 cup walnuts - delicious. covered it in whipped cream and strawberries
For some reason this recipe stuck to my waffle iron no matter how much non-stick spray or oil I used - very discouraging.
Very nice recipe. It did taste a tad "eggy", but not so much to be offensive. I added a bit of vanilla and cinnamon. It is a very nice recipe to make if you want yummy waffles, but don't have 2 hrs to make belgium waffles.
These were delicious, according to my family. They were much tastier than frozen waffles. I will definitely make them again. I changed the recipe slightly. I used whole wheat flour. I added a tsp apple pie spice, and a tsp vanilla. I didn't have any milk, but I did have buttermilk (huh! when does that ever happen!?) so I used buttermilk and they turned out great. I did not find them at all "eggy". Whipping the egg whites to make a meringue kept them light. Loved them, thanks!
Light and fluffy waffles are what my family enjoy and this recipe met the test and achieved a great score.
I make the whole wheat version of this (substitute half the white flour with whole wheat flour) for my kids at least three mornings every week. They love it and it is healthy! Great recipe. This will remain a family favorite.
Yummy, I fed my family with some homemade goodness this morning. I added some vanilla and cinnimon to my batch. My husband loved these waffles which he said tasted similar to french toast. 5 stars for sure!
I have been searching for a better waffle recipe than my previous one, and I have to say, I found it! I added a little vanilla, and left out a little of the beaten egg white (but not much), and WOW! These are the BEST waffles I have ever had! Thank you!
Great waffles! Not too heavy, I did add some vanilla as suggested but they were delicious.
These were VERY dry and bland. We had to drench them in syrup just to get them down.
