Why are my waffles salty?

What recipe did you use?

Yeesh, they shouldn’t really be salty. Is it a Belgian waffle recipe? Belgian waffles don’t really have a lot of sweetness on their own, so adding another dimension may take away from the savory side. Sometimes if a recipe doesn’t have a lot of other flavor in it, you can really taste the baking powder. Try adding vanilla.

i’m not sure, let me get back to you i wanted to post so i could find the question easily again

baking powder might give it a salty taste, but with that amount..it wouldn’t make it excessively salty.
possibly, if you don’t eat salt often…then you are just sensitive to the taste of it from the baking powder.

Are you absolutely sure that you used 2 Tblsp of sugar instead of 2 Tblsp of salt??

It was sugar from a sugar bag, straight from the shop

@pekenoe—that’s what I thought at first.

It’s possible that without a tiny bit of salt in it, you’re tasting the baking powder. Next time, try putting a pinch of salt in it?

you thought sugar was salt. ive done it in culinary school i bet your sugar is in a unmarked container

@ignorantsavage if you were to read what has been previously wrote you would see it was sugar straight from the shop in a sugar bag . clearly marked SUGAR
