Father’s Day Brunch + Waffle Recipe
Happy Fathers Day to all the super great fathers out there!
We had Steve’s parents (Bern & Gloria) over for brunch today to celebrate and show appreciation to what a great father Bern is.
Sorry about the blurry picture, but here’s Gloria, Bern & Steve…

At the end of this post I’m going to give you the recipe for these waffles. They’re light, crispy and tastes delicious…
Happy Father’s Day!!
Waffle Recipe
I had tried at least 3 other waffle recipes before I found this one. The other’s were either too eggy, too dense/heavy or too soggy. These were just right!
Since discovering this recipe at I had made them at least 5 times with each time producing amazingly crispy and delicious waffles….
Waffles of Insane Greatness (a.k.a. BEST WAFFLES EVER!!!)
Recipe adpated from Aretha Frankenstines found on the Food Network site.
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- In a medium bowl, mix in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
- Add in the milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar and vanilla. Mix well.
- Let the batter sit for 30 minutes. (I sometimes skip this part and the results come out the same as when you let the batter sit for 30 minutes.)
- Preheat waffle iron. (You do not need to use non-stick spray on the iron as the oil in the batter will allow the waffles to release with ease).
- Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles.
Note: When I make these waffles I always have my oven preheated to 230 degrees so that as soon as I finish a batch of waffles I transfer them to the oven (straight onto the rack) where they will keep warm and crispy. The first time I made these waffles I just laid them on top of each other on a plate with tinfoil overtop. This made them all soggy once they had reached the table. Not good.
Now if you don’t have a waffle maker I suggest that you go out and get one right now! Yes, these are that good. If I would have known, I would have gotten Bern a waffle maker for father’s day. He enjoyed these waffles so much that he said that he was going to go out and get a waffle iron of his own. This recipe post is for you Bern! Enjoy!
