Instructions

-
Serve and Enjoy

Notes
- For extra crispy waffles, use oil instead of butter in the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until combined for the fluffiest texture.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while making the rest.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for later. Reheat in a toaster for a fresh taste.
