11 Waffle Recipes That Will Make Your Morning
Butter and syrup are highly recommended.
In the Drummond house, homemade waffles are always a good idea. Put a waffle iron on the counter and suddenly everyone wanders into the kitchen to wait for what's coming!
In this list you'll find all the favorites, including gingerbread waffles with warm spices; lemon-poppy seed waffles with a bright citrus glaze; and cinnamon-pecan yeasted waffles that are extra fluffy thanks to a little rise time. Oh and Ree Drummond's classic waffles are in the mix, too. You can get creative with waffle toppings, but these are perfect with a big pat of butter and warm maple syrup.
Waffles aren't just for breakfast or brunch, by the way. They're a hit pretty much any time of day: Try a cornbread version for a fun dinner sometime, topped with spicy chicken and hot honey, or introduce everyone to the magic of the chaffle. If you own a waffle maker, let's just say you have lots of options. And if you don't, well, this might be your sign to get one!
Classic Waffles
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and best served with warm maple syrup—this is Ree's go-to waffle recipe. "I make them for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dinner, depending on the kind of day we've had," she says.
