Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Do not over mix, whisk just until combined and leave small lumps so the crumb stays tender.
  • Rest the batter 10 minutes as written, this hydrates flour and boosts browning.
  • Preheat the waffle iron fully and grease lightly, hot plates give the best crisp edges.
  • Keep finished waffles warm and crisp on a rack set over a sheet pan in a 225°F oven until serving.
  • Check out our Homemade Waffle Mix to have on hand to whip these up even faster.
Make ahead of time. The batter can be made the night before and kept covered in the fridge. Allow it to come to room temperature and give it a gentle stir before pouring it into the waffle iron. 
Store. Let the waffles cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or wrap each waffle in plastic and store together in a container in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Favorite toppings. Maple Syrup, Cinnamon Buttermilk Syrup, Whipped Cream, powdered sugar, and fresh berries,
