Family Beer Waffles (that I wasn’t planning to share)

Family Beer Waffles: It Took 3 Years To Get This Recipe RightÂ
I decided ten minutes ago to share this recipe. It’s of the personal sort, the "not for a client, just for me," sort. It’s the recipe I’ve been tweaking for years trying to get just right.
It’s the recipe I make for family, or for people who feel like family, or for those I wish were my family. To be honest, I don’t always use beer. I’ve used La Croix, I’ve used Pelligreno, I’ve used sparkling apple juice. Really, it’s more about the bubbles than anything else.
So why now? Why decide to share this with you? I want to give you something I didn’t develop for any other reason than just to eat and enjoy. Most recipes I share here start with you in mind.
What will you like? What do you want to cook? What will you click on? This recipe started differently. It’s a simple recipe. Nothing sparkly or trendy, just my own fascination with perfecting my own version of classic dishes.
I remembered it this morning and wanted to share it with you. So that you can make them for your own family, or your own "I wish we were family," crowd. And I hope you like them as much as I do.
To be really honest, these aren’t even pictures of the waffles in this recipe. They’re just waffle photos I took 3 years ago and thought looked similar. I’m sure yours will be much prettier, the recipe I’m sharing is way better than what I used to make the waffles pictured.

I love this recipe – pinned. I’m wondering how they might be with a chocolate stout…
I’d be honored if you shared this at our recipe blog hop –

This would work with a stout, but the color of the waffles will be darker. I like a beer with a higher carbonation level, stouts are usually lower carbonation. It’ll work, but I like a beer with a lower malt profile and a higher carbonation.
Hope you like them!

You meant a cup & half of milk?

12 oz is 1 1/2 cups 🙂
