Carbon's Golden Malted Original Waffle and Pancake Flour, 32 Ounce (Pack of 6)

This is the best waffle mix you can find. My wife had a waffle breakfast years ago where she worked at the time. She bought some of the mix there. We have been buying it from Amazon ever since. I introduced it to my brother and husband wife one time and they were very impressed and have also been buying it ever since. You can't beat the taste, quality and convenience.

Just like in hotels...tastes great!

UPDATE: After using Golden Malted a while I've realized some things. First, the way the waffle recipe is written, the waffles will turn out very thin. I went to a hotel after buying this mix and noticed that the mix used in hotels is at least TWICE AS THICK. So either a. add equal amounts of more batter or b. add another portion of Golden Malted. I've learned a while back that I'm pre-diabetic and I need to watch my sugar. I probably won't be using this a lot longer because it is PACKED WITH SUGAR AND SUGAR BY PRODUCTS. This is no slam to the product. Golden Malted developed a taste and brand that many people love especially when travelling. But this is not something you should eat every day. I think I'll be able to eat this once in a while if I cut it with whole wheat and use fat free milk. In other words, double the flour content so your pancakes and waffles will be twice as thick. As humans we're not designed to eat like this every day, but I still recommend Golden Malted as a treat.I'm one of those nerds who enjoys making my own waffles while staying in hotels. So much so that I bought a Waring waffle maker. Well, we tried various brands of batter but at my last trip I made a point to look for a brand name on the waffle makers in my hotel. I found "Golden Malted" and ordered a can when I got home. Voila! There was that signature flavor I've been looking for.Wife doesn't like waffles, so as a compromise, I switched to pancakes. They are just as delicious. Make sure you follow the directions exactly or they won't turn out. Use medium-high heat and test with just a teaspoon of batter before cooking. If the small test bubbles up quickly and is brown, you're ready to go. Don't turn over the pancake until it's totally bubbled up. You will have beautiful, tan, tasty pancakes. One last thing, don't add the melted butter until your batter is completely whipped. I made the mistake of adding it while stirring in the milk and the butter froze up.Highly recommended. Now even I make delicious pancakes! :-)

Short expiration dates.

This mix is extremely hard to come as it's not usually available to the general public, only restaurants and hotels. It was always a favorite of my kids ever since they had them at the Rain Forest Cafe' but regular supermarkets don't carry it. I used to have to get it like a back room mob deal, from "a guy that knew a guy in the business."Now it's available here on Amazon. Although a little pricey, it's the best there is.

Let me be clear, I LIKE it because the mix. I HATE the new packaging, bring back the CANS! For those complaining about taste, mix the egg in and use milk or whipping cream rather then the water called for that THAT actually gives you a good tasting waffle. As for measuring...measuring is for sissies...I pour out in a bowl, crack in the egg, pour in the milk or whipping cream(which ever I have) till I get a consistency I like. There is a distinct possibility that my "eyeballing" things is experience telling me how much of something I have...been doing this cooking thing for roughly 30 yrs so. But, the complaint is the bags do NOT keep things fresh very well(and easy to puncture if using in camping situations) the cans at least didn't get puncture holes in them, the mix stayed fresh longer, and oh...I didn't have a freaking pancake and waffle mix powder explosion in my camper when the bag got smacked by something sliding in the same cabinet. wishing I'd saved the last actual can from a few years ago. An extremely hot griddle, pan, or waffle iron is important to get a crisp outside and soft inside. Try it, its actually really good, but you might need to tweak things a bit.

I owned a restaurant this is the same stuff they use for their waffles. Carbon brings a waffle iron free if you use their product.Just excellant!

Malting the flour adds a distinctive, pleasant, slightly sweet taste and smell. Regular pancake flour tastes flat after having this. We rarely add syrup. We've sent this as gifts all over the world; recipients always have asked for more! If it tastes familiar the first time you use it, this is the mix used at Waffle House and for waffles at hotels in their continental breakfast waffle makers.
