BELGIAN WAFFLES

4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 lb. sweet butter, softened
4 eggs
2 tbsp. rum

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Make a well in the center and put the softened butter, eggs and rum in well. Gradually mix the flour into other ingredients. Let the mixture, which will be a paste, stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 2 hours. Divide into small balls the size of 2 tablespoons, and cook them in a waffle iron. Cool on a rack and store as for cookies. (Note - Belgians eat these like cookies instead of as a breakfast food). Makes 3-4 dozen.

WAFFLES FROM MIXES
http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/fami...1_waffles.html

How to turn a mix into a treat
by Lora Brody

1 of 3
Homemade waffles are a delicious, satisfying way to start the school day. They can be simple to make, too, using store-bought cake or muffin mix.
Corn, bran and blueberry muffin mixes are not as sweet as cake mixes. Waffles made from muffin mixes will be a cross between coffee cake and the cap of a muffin--the crusty lid that's so desirable, cookware stores now sell shallow muffin tins for tops-only muffins.

To turn the muffin mix into a waffle mix, follow the package directions but add an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk or water. The batter should flow slowly, like a thick pancake batter.

For a 16-ounce box of muffin mix, add an extra 1/2 cup of liquid; for a 12- to 14-ounce box, add an extra 1/3 cup; and for a 20-ounce box, add just under 3/4 cup.

You may have to add more liquid if there are nuts, blueberries or diced apples in the mix. Add an egg and oil if the package instructions give you the option for waffles that are crisp, golden and easy to remove from the iron.

I forgot to mention that I have used Quiltermom's recipe and it's a good one. I added a dash of vanilla and some cinnamon. It is fast to mix up and tastes great.

Much tastier than bisquick for homemade waffles.

here's another:

3/4 cup melted butter or margarine
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs
2 1/4 cups milk

Melt butter or margarine, set aside to cool.
Sift dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Beat egg on High for 1 minute in small mixing bowl.
Add milk and vanilla. Blend on low speed for 1/2 minute. Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients.
Stir on low speed until dry ingredients are moist. Add cooled butter. Stir on low speed for 1/2 minute.
Bake on preheated waffle baker. Makes 4 full sized 4 section waffles.
