Is this a pancake project? Yes. Then why are waffles included? Because gosh darn it, waffles have always been my favorite food and they are even harder to find at a restaurant than gluten free pancakes are. That's why.
This weeks recipe is Easy Gluten Free Waffles from What the Fork blog. I chose this recipe because it was one of the few out there that did not use buttermilk. We were out of buttermilk, and for the first time I make a recipe, I try not to make any changes. I was interested to see how these would turn out as they are similar to the recipe my mom makes (ie no buttermilk) but they also included maple syrup in the batter, which I have never seen before.
Sadly, these were not the waffles for me. I have always like waffles that are on the softer side, with a little firmness. These were a whole new level of crispy. Sharon does say that these would be crispy waffles, but in my mind, if you can hear the person next to you chewing, they are a little too crispy. The flavor was also a little off. It probably wasn't the maple syrup, mainly because I pour tons on my waffles anyways. No one in my family liked these enough to even finish half of their waffle so this is definitely a do not make again.
For my next recipe, I want to try something that does include buttermilk. Almost every GF waffle and pancake recipe has buttermilk, so I am guessing that it is pretty important in making the perfect waffle and pancake. I am planning on trying America's Test Kitchen Gluten Free Waffles, and maybe this recipe from Amy in the Kitchen. I also still want to find more pancake recipes to try, so if you have any that have worked out for you, please send me the recipe!
Hopefully the next recipe will be a success!

Maddie
