Apple Cinnamon Pecan Waffles

This recipe is recreated using the Waffle recipe from the Lily Wallace New American Cookbook from the 1953 version. Originally I started with the Pecan Sour Cream Waffles that can be found on page 217. The recipe call for replacing the milk with sour cream.

Modern sour cream is different from sour cream from the 1950s and in the years past. Today’s sour cream is much thicker. So I tweaked the recipe slightly to make this batter less thick to a more pourable consistency.

It you are planning to make this recipe using sour cream I suggest using half sour cream and half either milk or butter milk. These waffles are great for breakfast, brunch or an anytime snack.
