Today’s recipe is very special because it comes from my son-in-law. He made these yummy waffles for my birthday supper. He made 3 different kinds in order to please everyone. Some were plain, some had fresh blueberries and some had chocolate chips! There are easier Belgian Waffle recipes out there but this one is so delicious and worth the extra effort. Have a family member join you in the kitchen as you prepare these yummy waffles and they will learn some valuable cooking methods. I posted my recipe for homemade syrup on November 25th, 2011—check it out! Thanks for the delicious recipe Shawn!
