"Here is the latest version I drafted. I was trying to include the many variations I plan for future mornings since my head is usually not thinking too clearly in the AM. Feel free to expand on the joys of GFCF foods. These are lighter and better than gluten-waffles. I used orange juice for the liquid this morning and the acid reacted with the baking powder for some of the lightest waffles I've ever eaten!"
