Notes
- Crispy secret: Hot waffle iron + cooling rack = crispy waffles
- Don't overmix: A few lumps are fine. Overmixing makes tough waffles
- Make ahead: Mix wet and dry separately the night before, combine before cooking
- Freeze for later: Cool completely, freeze with parchment between waffles, reheat in toaster
- Kid-friendly: Simple enough for children with adult supervision
- Leftover ideas: Use as sandwich bread, crumble for toppings, make bread pudding
