Brady Evans serves up a very successful batch of waffles for her always hungry teenage brother.
By Brady Evans
Teenage boys: they are an entire different breed. My 14 year old brother was spending the weekend with us and my husband and I were continually impressed by his ability to put away food. The morning I made these waffles he ate four of them. Just 8 hours previously, he’d eaten 8 tacos for dinner. 
I like to think that the volume of food he ate was at least partly due to the quality of the recipes I made. This waffle recipe was really great. It was easy to whip up, uses whole grains, and is light and fluffy. The cornstarch in the recipe makes for a crispy exterior – if you aren’t looking for that, omit it.
