Tips & Notes
- •For extra fluffy waffles, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter at the end.
- •If your batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- •Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
