Fabulous Find Friday 10

Have you ever stayed at a Marriott's Residence Inn and had their waffles?  My husband LOVES them!  I have tried for years to reproduce them from scratch AND from different mixes to no avail.  After our last stay at a Marriott's right before Christmas I spent the better part of a day searching the net for their secret.  Here is what I found!  They use malted flour.......who knew. In fact, if my sources are correct, they use Carbon's Golden Malted Original Pancake and Waffle Flour.  I had to buy it and try it out!  And it was delicious, just like the ones at Marriott's.  The way my husband describes it is like the insides of a tractor wheel donut.  Yum.  We got the "just add water" mix, the original (add egg, water, melted butter) mix and the gingerbread flavor mix.  The gingerbread one was heavier and not my favorite but the just add water one was almost identical in texture as the original.  Now we just need to get one of the cool flip waffle irons and we will be set!  Diana
