Incredible recipe. Waffles will feel very heavy as you take out of waffle iron. When you eat they are so light and fluffy. I made Lemon sauce that my grandma always served with gingerbread cake. It was awesome. I wold give more stars if they were there.<\/p>

lemon sauce: 3 T lemon juice, 1\/2 cup sugar, 1\/4 water,3 T butter ,1 egg beaten, lemon zest if you want and have ( you can use jarred juice). mix all in sauce pan continuously over medium heat until it JUST STARTS to boil do not let it fully boil IT will be thick enough to coat spoon, and a finger for testing! YUM<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"12\/24\/2016 16:59","GUID":"215e85f362fc4462afb8a06099aa5bca","MemberId":7147897,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"minniejsmom","SubmittedDate":"12\/24\/2016 16:59"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2013 10:15","GUID":"EC6F469E64104E90A18159667DD20E3B","MemberId":1638440,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tt2b123","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2013 10:15"},{"Comment":"

Wow, so yummy! I made these today and quadrupled the recipe so I could freeze a bunch that my family could eat for breakfast. I used 3 1\/2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch just because. I also only used 3\/4 cup of molasses and used only 3 tablespoons of brown sugar for a quadruple batch, WoW! Yes, it tastes fine. I also did not seperate the eggs, who has time for that? Instead of melted butter I used about a 1\/4 cup of applesauce and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Very good, nice spicy flavor to keep waffles interesting. Great warmed up, they make me crave winter even more.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"07\/02\/2012 14:31","GUID":"68a61d3794df491d9f8ec0561a8e5153","MemberId":6324211,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"1275","SubmittedDate":"07\/02\/2012 14:31"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"12\/26\/2011 18:52","GUID":"35461f7909f1444f9861dfa3894022ff","MemberId":1009323,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"annmariemaywiggins","SubmittedDate":"12\/26\/2011 18:52"},{"Comment":"

These were a big hit for Sunday brunch. Not too sweet or spicy. Chewy texture reminded everyone of waffle cones.
