Notes
Note*** Cooking time will vary, depending on your waffle maker.
If using cake flour, eliminate cornstarch.
Original recipe calls for butter and sugar to be creamed, instead of the butter melted.
My waffle maker makes very large waffles, so one portion is half of a waffle. Your nutrition facts will vary, depending on the size of your waffles.
