One of the pleasures of waffle-making is, and always has been, the limitless flavors with which the waffles may be made and served: a blend of flours (such as whole-wheat and regular flour), cornmeal, various cheeses, nuts (such as pecans or hazelnuts), and so on.

Added some spices ...cinnamon etc..and a little white sugar. Used gluten free flour. Great recipe!

I made this recipe twice today. The first time, I followed the recipe as written. The texture was good, but the flavor was nonexistent and boring. The second time I added a half a cup of sugar and a half a tablespoon of cinnamon, and that really makes it a five star recipe.

My kids loved it, but only after I added in a half cup of sugar some blueberries and cherries. Those touches made the recipe perfect; otherwise it was bland.
