The Best Waffles Ever
"Charles Hambrick of Alexandria, Va. called one day awhile ago to talk to us about a baking problem he was having. As happens so often, we got talking about baking in general, and some of our favorite recipes. Charles swears this waffle recipe, which is served at one of Washington, D.C.'s famous hotels, is the best he's ever tasted. We made it, and we have to agree. Waffles are soft and light on the inside, crisp on the outside. They're particularly good made in a Belgian waffle iron. Thanks, Charles!..."
