I just bought an old Nordicware waffler from the thrift store for $3... the temp gauges are broken and the paint is peeling, but it's a waffle iron... not a decoration on my counter. I was interested in trying out a good recipe rather than pre-made pancake junk with my new gadget. WOW. Set it to Med-Hi and away it went.
I got five traditional, large sized, golden belgian waffles out of this recipe, I did not make the strawberry sauce tonight as it was late and I was hungry. I never hesitate trying another one of Emeril's recipes, not one has let me down. I currently have at least half a dozen on good rotation now. Thanks Food Network and Chef Lagasse for sharing with us!

Made these for a Sunday brunch and they were awesome. I've tried a few waffle recipes, and this is by far our favorite! I cut the recipe in half, and used half heavy whipping cream and half skim milk instead of the whole milk.

I wanted a thicker strawberry syrup, so I added cornstarch as per other reviews. One note: I don't use cornstarch on a regular basis so I didn't know you had to add it to a cold liquid first before you add it to the hot liquid... so it got lumpy. But I put it in a blender and it got rid of the lumps. I also used less sugar and added a splash of Grand Marnier. So good!

Served the waffles with the strawberry syrup, whipped cream and real maple syrup. Will be making this again soon!

I've made this recipe several times--a few times in other variations.

The waffles are delicious, and it makes you realize that you could never eat a frozen store-brand waffle again. It is such a good recipe that you can use it in savory dishes by altering the sugar content and adding other spices /herbs. This is a weekend brunch classic for me. I also have used the syrup in a variety of ways. As a compote by making it thicker with longer cooking time. I used it as a strawberyy spread on Victorian Sponge Cake for a ladies' tea. In that instance, I also added a touch of Grand Marnier liquer.

Thanks to Maestro E for such an elegant and versatile recipe!

I'm rating this on behalf of my kids. I've made this receipe three times and I haven't gotten a single one. It makes too many for us so I cut the receipe in half not thinking that hey I can just put the extra waffles in the frig. Anyway "THE WORLD'S PICKIEST EATER" (my daughter says their the BESTwaffles she ever had. Take it from me it's been kid tested and pickiest eater approved! but next time can I have some..lol

My housemate and I made the recipe as directed, except we used 3/4 cup sugar with the strawberries. Everything else was done per the recipe. This was amazing. The waffles were light and fluffy, not dense like some other recipes can become. Just remember not to beat in the egg whites but gently fold in. There maybe a few little lumps of egg white but don't worry. This will be the waffles recipe I use from now on.

The syrup was divine. We did use just a little less sugar than written, simply because we wanted a little more tartness. It was sweet when you just had syrup, but when you got a big strawberry piece it was a little tart.

Anyone who does not make the strawberry syrup is doing themselves a disservice. It really does not take that long!

Final note is that this makes a LOT of waffles. We are going to freeze the extra and pop in the toaster for quick a breakfast some morning.

The best home-made waffles ever! I didn't make the strawberry syrup though. Instead I put in mini chocolate chips and topped it off with maple syrup, whipped cream and fresh blueberries. It was so fluffy and light I felt no guilt in indulging in a couple for a midnight snack!
