The Inspiration
Ever since my boys were little and have known that a place called Disney World existed, they have wanted to go. (and every since their Momma has been little she has wanted to go too) That dream finally came true in 2019 when our family visited Walt Disney World for the first time. There is so MUCH amazingly yummy food to pick from in Disney World. Heck, I’d even take a trip and willingly ruin my diet just to do nothing else but try all of their food. I think it’s fair to say that each person in our family found their own favorite thing to eat at Disney. But one thing we all had in common was our absolute LOVE of the waffles at Disney. I don’t know if it’s the Disney magic that made them so good or what. But what I do know is that when we got home, I HAD to recreate that recipe. So my family became my willing guinea pigs as I researched, created, and tested recipe after recipe.
The Perfect Recipe
I tried 3 different recipes and read TONS of articles about what makes the perfect Disney waffle. As I eagerly tried each recipe, I was disappointed when that first bite still didn’t taste the same as our waffles at Disney. So what did I do? I did what any seasoned cook does, and I came up with my own recipe!
Step 1
I kept reading over and over that lots of theme parks and hotels use this pancake and waffle mix. So I set off to order it.
Step 2
Once you have your hands on Carbon’s Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, now the fun begins. Measure out 2 cups of the Carbon’s Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour.
Step 3
Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to your waffle mix.
Step 4
Add 2 teaspoons of Clabber Girl Baking Powder to the dry ingredients.
Step 5
Now you need to get a separate bowl to mix your wet ingredients. Melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter.
Step 6
Measure 1 1/4 cups milk. Put in the bowl with the butter. You can use whatever kind of milk you have in the refrigerator. I used 1% for this recipe.
Step 7
Beat two eggs into the wet ingredients.
Step 8
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to your bowl of wet ingredients.
Step 9
Mix your wet ingredients in with your dry ingredients. Stir.
Step 10
Preheat your waffle maker. Once it is preheated, spray with a nonstick cooking spray. I like the benefits of coconut oil (It’s tasteless and healthy!), but use whatever you have on hand.
Step 11
Depending on the size of your waffle maker, measure out 1/4-1/2 cup of waffle batter into each spot on your waffle maker. Cook until golden.
Step 12-The BEST step
Load with your favorite toppings, and ENJOY all of that amazing yummy goodness! My husband likes these with peanut butter. My youngest likes these with Nutella. And my oldest likes these covered with fruit and syrup like his Momma.

Notes
As any Disney lover knows, hidden Mickeys are part of the fun. And look what we found hiding on our counter when we were cleaning up. It’s like Mickey Mouse himself was telling us we got the recipe right. In the words of my 11 year old, “That’s pretty cool!”
