Reviews
Not sure what happened with the other reviewer, but this turned out wonderfully fluffy and I made the recipe as is. The crunch of the macadamia nuts was a wonderful surprise. This was a hit with the family.
Oh helllll naaaaaaahhhh. Waffle batter should never be "firm". I made this sounded delicious. But i added 1 more cup of milk when i realized it was horribly firm. And the waffles STILL ended up nearly HARD. SO the flavor was amazing but u must tinker with this recipe. do not indulge as is. Idk what the author was thinking. They may have forgotten a key ingredient such as OIL or WATER but i am VERY DISAPPOINTED
read that hawaii is a great place-lovely greenery-there was a serial called hawaii-5-0 .I used to see some 36-38 years back-isnt hawaii the place where the Indian coral trees certain things are used to meke leis-its called parijaat in india hindi language-there is a building close to a dermatologist I visited in palakkad called parijaat buildings-am writing from palakkad-kerala-India-southern India,also have recently made a friend in hawaii-just want to say I called to say I love you-anyway wonderful recipe-thanks.
These were so fantastic -- sweet, flavorful, easy -- thanks for such a fun alternative to regular waffles!
ince I already had commercially made pineapple ice cream topping in the fridge, I didn't make the topping listed, just added coconut to ours. Due to nut allergies, I subbed rice krispies for the nuts. They give a nutty flavor and crunch. I made Belgian waffles, and got 4 nice sized ones.
These waffles were awesome! My husband loved them! I am not a fan of flaked coconut, so I substituted 1/4 cup cream of coconut instead and they were perfect!
