    Excellent. I don't understand how you can substitute key ingredients, then criticize the recipe and give it 2 or 3 stars!

    If I let him, my preschooler would eat waffles for breakfast Every. Single. Day. So, was in search of something healthier than the freezer aisle and we can always count on Alton. I love that this recipe has whole wheat flour and minimal sugar. They puffed up nicely on the waffle iron. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla based on other reviews that they are bland (I agree and I will increase that to 1 tsp next time I make them. They did lack for flavor but I guess that allows us to get creative. I had the same issue that many others did that they never did get crispy off the waffle iron - soft and chewy. (Other recipes don't have this problem. However, I made them to freeze and they did crisp up a bit in the toaster oven when I reheated them. I'd recommend that.

    This won't be my go to for brunches or indulgent weekend waffles, but for the everyday breakfast from the freezer, they're perfect.

    These waffles are wonderful! I made them for brunch this morning along with fried chicken and mimosas. I added fresh blueberries to the batter, along with vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of fresh nutmeg. My OLD Black & Decker machine has grids that flip over and a waffle setting. They come out tender and on the softer side using the auto-waffle setting, which is fine for me. Those preferring a crispier waffle should allow it to cook for an additional minute or two. These were a definite hit and this will be my go recipe from now on. So long Bisquik.

    Thank you, Alton.

    Love this easy to remember recipe. They fluffed up nicely and worked well in my Belgian waffle maker. I do think it could use a little cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg.

    I couldn't get these waffles crispy. I'm not sure if my waffle maker was the issue, or something in the recipe. They had a great taste, and I will try them again.

    These live up to their name - a basic waffle. They work well in non-Belgian style waffle makers, and have very good flavor and texture. You could jazz them up with nuts or bananas, but they are very good as-is. I agree that the buttermilk should not be substituted!

    This recipe tastes great but it didn't produce crispy waffles. I tried out the recipe that came with my new waffle maker a couple weeks ago and the waffles were wonderfully crisp but not flavorful. They were incredibly time intensive though. This recipe was very flavorful and I love that it contains wheat flour. I am going to try the trick that I learned from the waffle maker recipe book next time I make these: substitute 1/2 cup of the AP flour with corn starch to make the waffles crisper. Just FYI we had to sub the buttermilk for almond milk because my son is allergic to cow's milk. I bet they are even better with the buttermilk!

    Very good. Especially when made on my vintage cast iron waffle iron. There are never leftovers. The buttermilk is a MUST. don't substitute it.

    very tasty. Kids loved them. light and airy. I did omit wheat flour though and substituted with an extra cup of all purpose white flour
