Waffles

Since I've mentioned making these in recent FB posts, I thought I'd post the recipe.

For reference, this is the waffle iron I use. I turn it up to the max setting, and its indicator lights work pretty well, with the Bisquick version of this. If you swap the Bisquick for the substitute mixture, you get a denser waffle -- each one has more heft,

Is this the famous Mitch recipe?

Yes. My family got it from my mother's childhood friend Fred Gey.

My experience is that you can get pretty nice waffles with straightforward recipes if you make them with cake flour (which is low-gluten) and you don't over-mix them (which would increase the toughness).

I've had good results with http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/02/sunday-brunch-the-greatest-waffle-recipe-ever.html
Though I've generally made it with melted butter instead of canola oil due to wanting to avoid cooking with modern 'vegetable' oils. I really like to add some cinnamon to the dry ingredients, but not so much that it's the dominant flavor.
