Belgian Waffles

This has to be one of my favorite recipies. I absolutely love these waffles, especially with some good sausage and eggs. They are light and fluffy and have a great taste. I personally like these with some blueberry syrup and a dollop of whipping cream. They are great for breakfast, brunch, or even for dinner. The past two Sundays we have had guests over for dinner and they loved these waffles. Sarah gave me another belgian waffle maker for Christmas, which makes making a double batch of these go much faster.
