Belgium Waffles

Submitted by Jenae Bethers - added 8/17/26

Mark and I both came from families with a prized waffle recipe, but we found this one to beat them both. It came from a Better Homes & Gardens cookbook we received as a wedding gift. We've made this recipe at least once a month our entire marriage. -Jenae
