Last week, I posted a recipe for the most delicious, fluffy and perfect Buttermilk Pancakes. I declared that I would make them every Saturday for the rest of my life. But, as we all know, I change my mind... often. And I get bored when I restrict my cooking creativity. And well, you can't blog very well when you make the same recipes over and over again, though it's tempting at times!
So I decided to try the next best thing, Buttermilk Waffles! I did a search on the food network's website and came across these Waffles of Insane Greatness. They had a 5-star rating from users, so I was confident that they would be a winner. I've never seen a waffle recipe that called for cornstarch, so I also searched the internet to find out it's purpose - to create a crisper waffle with a fluffy inside. There's nothing worse than a soggy waffle, in my opinion!
I decided to double the recipe, and store the leftover waffles in the freezer for quick mid-week breakfasts, and they only lasted about a week. With my 8" circle waffle iron, I made about 9-10 waffles by doubling the recipe.

We got 3 waffle makers for our wedding then gave them all away when we left for Asia in 2009. This recipe is making me realize I need to go buy a new one TODAY because I feel like my weekend won't be complete without these!
It's funny, I feel like I am the same way. I will say that is the downside of being a blogger and a creative-minded cook. I regularly make recipes that I think are fantastic and should definitely be repeated, but alas, then my attention gets taken by something else. I do love a waffle of insane greatness thought so these sound delicious.
I looooove waffles with lotsa blueberries. And they must be the old fashioned ones over the Belgium waffles. Mmmm....you have me droooling.
This is exactly why I DESPERATELY need a waffle iron! These sound fantastic.
I ordered waffles on the cruise & was ridiculously disappointed at how soft they were... I like mine to be slightly crispy!
Yours look perfect though!
