I have a waffle batter I just love (yeast waffles) my granddaughter thinks they should be sweeter. What would the impact of my batter be if I just added some sugar to the batter?

As an experiment, I would add a little honey or PURE (no corn syrup added) cane syrup.
This may require an adjustment of other liquids.

Granddaughter may be a youngun, they do like sweet. But when you add sweet to anything it would tend to make
them brown more and you might not like that. Besides, assuming they are breakfast waffles, what goes
ON them, isn't syrup or sweetened fruit sweet enough? But then maybe I shouldn't have assumed...

She only puts butter on them and eats them like we would a piece of toast.

I'm somewhat with Jenny on this one. Syrup would seem to be all the sweetener one would need.

My husband loves waffles and we are still searching for a really good recipe.
If you don't mind will you please post yours? I think yeast waffles sound delicious!
Thanks,
Irene

Here you go
Crispy Yeast Waffles
Ingredients:
350 g Pastry flour
50 g Diastatic malt powder (optional) but I think it makes a difference.
7 g Active dry yeast
5 g White granulated sugar
3.5 g Salt
2 g Baking soda
620 g whole milk (room temperature)
115 g Butter
100 g Egg (2 large)
2 tsp vanilla
Step One: Make the dry mix
Sift together 350 g Pastry flour, 50 g Diastiatic malt powder, 7 g Active dry yeast, 5 g sugar, 3.5 g salt and 2 g baking soda.
Step Two:
Place 620 g milk and 115 g butter in a small sauce pan and gently warm over low heat. You just need to warm the butter until it melts, stay between 104 and 112 degree F. This is the perfect temperature to wake up the yeast in the next step. If it gets to warm just let it rest until the temperature drops to your desired level. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk to combine.
Step Three:
Combine wet and dry mixes and let the yeast bloom. You can let it set for as little as 10 minutes or up to two hours. The longer you let it bloom the richer, yeasty flavor you develop and the more air pockets your waffles will have.

What are these waffles from Belgium (or Belgium Waffles?) that they sell at Whole Foods and other places that have something called "Pearl Sugar" in them? I think this is some sort of sugar that is made into hard sphere's that stay that way during baking. Very good but I also agree that Real Maple Syrup on regular home made waffles should be all the sweetness you need! I LOVE waffles!

For mixes I like Hodson (sp?) Mills. And I really like the Kitchen Aid double waffle maker from their Pro line which may be out of production but should be available on eBay, see http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-KitchenAid-KPWB100OB-Pro-Line-Grand-Belgian-Waffle-Baker-Maker-7-5-Non-stick-/360404058295?hash=item53e9c180b7:g:Qd4AAMXQkN1RygN5. This is expensive, but if yo REALLY love waffles, its worth it!

For waffle eaters who turn their nose up at maple syrup, a good shake of confectioners sugar usually works.

At my house we use a waffle recipe that only has a teaspoon or so of sugar. We usually make a compote of peaches, strawberries, or blueberries to put on top - plenty sweet at THAT point! If she likes to eat them like toast, she should put a little bit of jam on them - that is also good!
