Just made these tonight. They were not very tasty and very heavy and crumbly. Not waffle texture at all.

I added about 1/2 a cup more milk to help thin down the batter. With my belgium waffle maker it made 4 waffles. My kids liked them.

These were not good at all. I gave it a 2 because the sauce was half way decent and could be used on ice cream or something. They were so dense and hardened up on your plate as you were eating them. Not a make again for us by any means.

Don't own a waffle iron (but I just had to try this recipe!), so I tried to make pancakes. But no matter what I did, it burned them. So I poured the rest of the batter into a greased loaf pan and made a gingerbread loaf out of it. Worked out much better. Not burned. I served it by cutting it up into small slices and drizzling the choc. sauce on top with a dollop of whipped topping. 5 stars for the chocolate sauce!! Tastes wonderful in a cup of coffee too! 4 1/2 - 5 stars for taste of the gingerbread. 4 stars for the fact that it didn't work out for pancakes.

The waffles are too heavy and came out dry no matter how I played with cooking time and temperature, but the chocolate syrup was rather good. I plan to make the syrup again to serve hot over vanilla ice cream.

I made these this morning for my three kids (ages 1, 3, and 9) and no one made a sound during breakfast. Can I tell you how rare that is? That is how good these are! I can't wait to make them again. Despite what some people said, my waffles turned out to be very light, fluffy, moist, and full of flavor. I had no difficulty removing my waffles from my waffle maker. I am certain no chef; just a housewife, but I do not understand how anyone could have difficulty with this recipe. NOTE: Make sure you dissolve the cornstarch in a little bit of water before adding it to the sauce or you will get a few lumps. I had children pulling at my legs so I skipped that step. Then when I reheated the sauce the next morning I found a few lumps. The only change I would make, only because of person preference, is I would use milk instead of water the next time I make the chocolate sauce a little more rich.

I didn't like these at all. I love the taste of gingerbread normally but these were too heavy with the taste of molasses. The batter was heavy too. I could barely finish one because of the heaviness and sweetness, I can only imagine what they'd be like with the chocolate sauce.

I've made these a few times since 2002, just never rated them before. I do add some sugar to sweeten them to our liking, and I have never made the sauce. We usually serve ice cream over them.

We made these for a special "weekend before Christmas" breakfast and loved them! The waffles turn out much more tender than a normal waffle, so you need to be very careful when removing from the waffle iron. I ended up with lots of cornstarch lumps in the sauce, so had to strain it. Also a lot of extra sauce. Next time, I plan to save back a little of the water to dissolve the cornstarch in before adding to the hot sugar water and will also half the sauce recipe, unless I have another use for the leftovers.
