    Great flavor, doesn’t hold crisp well

    I tried these using KA self-rising flour (low protein) in place of the pastry flour, baking powder, and salt. Added the optional nut flour (almond). 3 Tbsp butter (for 1/2 recipe) seemed like enough. Texture was super light and delicate (almost too much so), with crisp edges. I want to try again with AP flour to see how they compare.

    Fantastic! I used AP flour, because I have so much of it. We added homemade Ceylon cinnamon extract as well as the vanilla... and rounded it out with brown sugar instead of the white sugar. They are light with a crisp exterior.

    I made these on a whim today and they were very good. I used all-purpose flour because that's what I had on hand. I also used the pecan meal, which gave these a wonderful sweet, nutty flavor. The texture was perfect. This is so good it may become our house waffle recipe (when we don't plan ahead and make yeasted waffles).

    I have made many waffle recipes, but this one has moved up, pretty high on our list of faves. I used all-purpose flour instead of pastry flour. If I'd had pecan meal, I would've added it. The waffles were super tender. I served our with a homemade blueberry sauce. Once again, KAF has a winning recipe.
