Ok yes these are a lot more work then normal waffles- but than again they are a lot better. If you have the time- these creations really make a special breakfast that is sure to be appreciated.
Note* I substituted milk for buttermilk, when making waffles there is no reason not to use it. =

I didn't have cake flour so I used all-purpose flour and they were great.

Yes this recipe does require a few dirty dishes and a little time, but in my book... It's well worth it! YUMMY! They are so light and fluffy! We make these almost every Saturday!

I ditched my old square waffle iron for a beautiful professional Belgian waffle maker the night of the annual cousins birthday sleepover. The kids, ranging ages 6-12, and the 2 exhausted adults, proclaimed these waffles a huge hit! They were light, crispy, and flavorful. We added toppings of raspberries, bananas, chocolate chips, Vermont maple syrup and whipped cream. As a variation, I may try these with buttermilk next time. Regardless of the dairy product, I will warm it a bit before adding to the butter to avoid the solids that formed.
I'm left curious about all the negative reviews. Not the folks that are yeast snobs, I get it...you have romanticized the original. I'm talking about those that say these waffles were runny, soggy or tasteless. They must have had prep mistakes. There are a handful of steps in which precision is necessary (eg, separate bowls, whipping, folding, but no rocket science. If I can do it after staying up until 1am with the sleepover monsters, so can you!

These waffles were amazing! I used bread flour since I didn't have cake flour and accidentally added another TBSP of sugar in the flour, but they turned out fantastic. I made the whole batch and froze the leftovers for another day. A little more work to make than box mix, but totally worth it! i will be using this recipe from now on!!

It was an easy and quick recipe to put together. The taste was okay but not fantastic.

Absolutely delicious- light & fluffy! This is now my family favorite waffle recipe- I use Tyler Florence blueberry-lemon for the topping when we don't feel like maple syrup! I do add a few more drops of vanilla because I like the flavor. I am gluten-free, so I make a 2nd batch - substitute for gluten-free all-purpose flour & almond milk vs. milk- turns out great!

I tried multiple recipes from the site since the arrival of our new waffle iron. This one by far exceeds them all. Emeril's recipe is delicious, light, soft, and full of flavor.
