These were very good, though I think I still like Emma's Belgian waffles best. I liked these ones best in my big thick belgian waffle iron, in the thin little scandanavian iron there just wasn't enough to them. Normally I like the thin ones best!

Awesome! Even without an electric mixer to whisk the egg and sugar, this still came out perfect!

Great recipe! Sprinkle some powdered sugar on them and they taste just like a funnel cake from the fair. I added 1 more T of sugar than the recipe called for and used melted butter instead of shortening. My family loved them so much I'll have to double the recipe next time!

I was in Norway last summer. These waffles were a popular snack that you could get from street vendors or cafes. They were served with raspberry(?) jam and powdered sugar. I just bought a waffle iron and tried this recipe out. Spot on!

Light and fluffy waffles. I used 3x the sugar, and used oil instead of melted shortening. These are crisp only if you freeze them, then toast to reheat. Having taken cooking classes, I know that the ratio of milk to flour should be 1:1, so I used 1 and 1/2 cups of milk instead.

These were really good. I used melted butter instead of shortening and only used 1/2 tsp salt. The batter is VERY thin, but after reading other reviews that they turn out I didn't change anything else. My waffle maker only held 1/3C of batter at a time.

Amazingly crisp yet not dry! I sub'd in for the flour - 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup corn meal. Served with honey and some fresh strawberries - great. Thanks so much for sharing!

The batter is definitely thinner than expected, but the flavor is amazing! Wonderful waffle recipe!

This is not a recipe you want to try if you like fluffy waffles. These came out flat and heavy. Could not get them to rise in the waffle maker. They pretty much tasted like egg.

I make a big homemade breakfast for my family every weekend and I think I can make this recipe in my sleep now! It is the #1 requested breakfast in our house. I will make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for my husband and son during the week. I have tried other waffle recipes but this is definitely the best we have had. They almost taste like waffle cone waffles. A definite treat for my family, easy to make and absolutely delicious!

This is a fantastic recipe for those who, like me, don't have time to make the traditional belgian waffle recipe. Those recipes always call for yeast and sitting for an hour. Who has time for that?? So this morning when my twin 2 year olds were asking for "wapples" for breakfast, I mixed this up in a flash and made delicious waffles for the whole family. I have a Waring Professional waffle maker (the kind that you fill and turn) and this recipe made 4 giant waffles. Plenty enough to freeze for another day. I used the recipe exactly as written and it was perfect.

This is the only waffle recipe that has worked for me so far! I never made waffles until my husband got a waffle maker for his birthday 2 years ago. I have tried a few recipes, but they never turned out. These were crispy and had enough substance to chew, instead of some that feel like you're biting into air. I sprayed the waffle maker with cooking spray and they came out of the waffle maker very easy. My husband loves waffles and I will make these again!

Very good. Nothing special. The second time I added 1/2 a cup of strawberry fruit spread and !WOW! I also put 1/2 a cup more flour because looks too watery.

The first time I made this recipe, the waffles came out very crispy with fluffy inside. Very good. However, the 2nd and 3rd time not so much. I think it's because I used a hand mixer on the first time, and whisk for the other times.

This was a perfectly good waffle recipe once the syrup was on. The plain waffle itself doesn't have much flavor. Definitely not a dessert waffle. Fairly bland, but again it works well with syrup. I think I'll stick to my recipe in the future. For those of you who substituted butter for the shortening, you should not be rating this recipe as that completely changes it. So does coating them with powdered sugar. My rating is for this recipe made as is, and as is, it does not have butter flavor and is not very sweet.
