These “Oh Boy Waffles” are a simple, reliable favorite—one that has been shared widely over the years.

Originally given by a friend, the recipe has become a staple in Bishop Hutterer’s home. Its ease and consistency make it perfect for gathering people around the table.

In our shared life of faith, what we receive is meant to be shared. This recipe is a small but joyful example of that truth.
