Our Favorite Sunday Waffles aka The Best Waffles Ever - join us for breakfast! It's Waffles Sunday!

Our Favorite Sunday Waffles - The Best Waffles Ever

Sundays are very special in our family. It's our favorite day of the week and also extra delicious. And it all starts with a late breakfast.

Our Sunday breakfast is one of those traditions that my Husband and I were dreaming of having with our children, before they were born. I was thought by my parents that you always need to sit down to your meal and that you should never eat alone. I am carrying it into my own family. Our dinners happen around our dinner table, with everyone sitting and talking. Weekend breakfasts are different, since we homeschool and my Husband and I get up very early and have breakfast together, our oldest gets up before her siblings and has her breakfast first. But when the weekend rolls in, it's important for us to have a long breakfast together. Saturdays are eat-what-you-like mornings. But Sundays are everyone's favorite: waffles and pancakes!

I shared our favorite pancake recipe before and I still make it, sometimes with different add-ons. Today I am sharing our favorite waffle recipe, that makes crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside waffles that you can top with anything your heart desires. It usually depends on the season and cravings. During spring it's jams and preserves, in summer it's a lot of fresh fruit and fall always makes us crave caramel and sauteed apples. Winter waffles are topped with berries, segments of citrus, whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Since our tradition of Sunday waffles started, I have been trying to get our recipe just right. I tinkered with my standard recipe but they just weren't the best. Then I remembered that my Mom used to make fantastic waffles as a special occasion breakfast! I gave her a call and she happily shared her secret with me. It appeares that separating the eggs and beating the egg whites until stiff is the secret to crispy waffles!! Now, when our daughter asked me why do we need to do that instead of whisking the whole eggs into the batter like we do for pancakes, I share the same secret with her. It's the extra step that makes all the difference.

How to make great waffles

Seeing how everyone is excited every Sunday to enjoy the late and long breakfast, top these fantastic waffles with their favorite toppings and talk about everything and anything - it makes my Husband and I appreciate what we have and hoping that our kids will carry the tradition into their families in the future.

    These waffles do look the BEST, I can't wait to try your tip on the egg whites. I love the sound of Waffle Sundays! I may just have to make them everyday from now until Sunday just to be sure I get them right 😉 I do love waffles that much.

    I've never bothered to separate the eggs for waffles before, but I love the effect it has on cakes, etc. I will definitely try that technique on my next batch of waffles. Thanks.

    I really wish I had a waffle iron right now. I finally got around to buying a doughnut pan, so this is the next item on my list!

    Sunday breakfasts ate the very best - and waffles rank right up there near the top of our list as well - but I had never heard about separating the eggs - I cannot wait to try that this weekend

    I must confess that my waffle maker is in the basement, collecting dust. I LOVE Sunday morning waffles when they happen, but I always seem to forget to do it. You've inspired me!

    Perfect timing! I just found my waffle iron this past weekend after moving 16 months ago...now I'm craving some for breakfast. I might have a favorite pancake batter but not one for waffles; can't wait to try this!

    That is one gorgeous looking waffle! If I grew up with a waffle like that, I would expect it on every Sunday. Such a great tradition at your house!
