Fear not, these waffles are good. What they lacked in texture they made up for in flavor. And really, I'm being quite hard on myself...I can often control my perfectionist tendencies, but not in the kitchen! If you're a waffle master, and even if you're not, you will love these. Make the blueberry syrup if you can---but double our recipe--you'll want lots of this delicious stuff!
