Cindi's Everyday Waffles (Rachel's Favorite!)

I have been making these waffles for more than 30 years! My best friend's daughter (whom I claim as my honorary daughter) says that they are the "best waffles in the whole world!!" I have to make them for her any time there is a visit. There is never a crumb left!
