The Best 15-Ingredient Waffle Recipe
Lisa Yockelson toys with many waffle recipes in this Washington Post piece before finding "the best"—and it involves fifteen ingredients. A few notches beyond Bisquick, this recipe calls for: all-purpose flour, whole-wheat pastry flour, oat flour, spelt flour, cornmeal, and flaxseed meal, among other ingredients.
At last, the expression of the flours and meals, balanced by enough liquid and the protein-fat content of the whole eggs, raised with the right type and level of leavening agents (here, a mixture of baking powder and baking soda), and turned into a batter with a few swift strokes, is ready to be griddled between the grids of a hot waffle iron.
The fairly deep, Belgian-style irons are the best, notes Yockelson. But back to the 15 ingredients part. A little much for waffles, or worth trying since it claims to be the best?

Now all that there's left to do is throw in some fried chicken to round out the dish:

Is it too early for that? Anyone else totally dig wings and waffles?

I'm a fan of yeast-raised waffles : half the ingredients, acceptably healthy with flax and whole wheat, and you set up the batter the night before so all you have to do in the morning is plop it in the iron.

Seriously? 15 ingredients for waffles?! I am a big fan of waffles, but simplest is best. Like deensiebat, I am a big, big fan of yeasted waffles. The texture is amazing (and in fact named my website after it) My go-to recipe has an overnight rise and is perfect if you don't want to mess with putting it together in the morning.
