The perfect waffles with crispy edges, golden throughout and light in the middle.
Photo Update: 3/25/15
Waffles are the perfect way to start the day, and lucky for you, today is National Waffle Day so if you’re not having waffles for breakfast, I hope you have breakfast for dinner tonight and enjoy these then! I have been making these waffles for years and years. They’re the perfect waffles in my opinion, crispy edges, golden throughout and light in the middle.
Pin these golden butter waffles for later!
I love the different topping choices you can put on waffles, there’s your traditional butter and maple syrup. But I also love berry syrup, and my favorite way to have waffles is to spread them with creamy peanut butter, top that with bananas and then pour the maple syrup on top. Like this >>>
What’s your favorite breakfast? Do you like waffles, pancakes or french toast? Or do you like going the savory route with bacon and eggs?

April 20, 2019 at 10:29 AMThese were so good! Thank you! I’ve been trying to find a perfect homemade waffle recipe for years, and one that my kids really like. The crispy outside and softkros center was exactly what we were looking for! I added some cinnamon and vanilla for some extra kick. We will be making these from now on. Thanks for making our Saturday mornings better!:)

March 5, 2018 at 11:05 AMHad those waffles for breakfast yesterday and they were awesome! Wife and kid liked’em and i thought it was very easy to make!
My wife can’t eat egg whites so I added 1 whole egg plus one yoke only and my wife felt perfect afterwards!
It’s a keeper!!

September 1, 2015 at 11:01 AMThink these will keep in the fridge for a couple days?
Aimee Berrett says
September 1, 2015 at 12:23 PMYeah, they should be good in the fridge for a few days. Sometimes we freeze them when we make a big batch too. I like to toast them so they’ll be crispy when they’re reheated 🙂

March 25, 2015 at 8:48 AMWell, looks like I need to go and buy a waffle maker. Not one to leave Waffle day uncelebrated.
I am glad to know that I am not the only one that slathers my waffles and pancakes with peanut butter. It helps counterbalance all the sugar in the syrup.

March 25, 2015 at 9:24 AMI love waffles and not sure how you have survived without a waffle maker. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Did you learn the peanut butter trick from Greg? I know our family did from his family.
