FAQs

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a quick stir before using.

Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can substitute half or all of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. This will give the waffles a nuttier flavor.

What should I do if my waffles are not crispy?
Ensure that your waffle iron is hot enough before adding the batter. Cooking them a bit longer can also help achieve the desired crispiness.
