Comments: I originally posted this recipe on the Internet in the 1980s, however I adapted it from a recipe published in "The Good Housekeeping Cookbook" that was published in the mid 1960s. It has always been our favorite, although it is very rich with butter, so we do not make it often.

The ingredients list and directions are both very clear and easy to follow, but can certainly be converted to metric measurements if need be.

I should mention that this recipe works best in a traditional waffle iron, not a Belgium style waffle iron. We usually serve the waffles with softened butter and pure maple syrup, but other toppings also work well. After the batter is poured, I sometimes sprinkle pieces of pecans over it before closing the iron.
