Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the waffle batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight. Just give it a quick whisk before cooking.
What’s the best way to keep waffles crispy?
If you’re not serving them immediately, place cooked waffles on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a warm oven. This helps air circulate and prevents them from getting soggy.
Can I freeze waffles?
Of course you can. Let them cool completely, then arrange them in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or oven.
