Tips for making the best waffles

Use a GOOD Waffle Maker. Spend the extra few bucks to get a good one, it is so worth it! It doesn’t matter if it is a square waffle maker or a round waffle maker, either one will work. It is one of those appliances that are a must in the kitchen and you will use for years.

Do not over mix the waffle batter. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. Over mixing will lead to tough waffles. It is OK for the batter to be lumpy. When you are adding in the egg whites, be gentle when folding them in.

Let the waffle maker heat up completely. It is important that the waffle maker is heated completely before you put any waffle batter on.

Grease the waffle maker. Greasing the waffle maker will keep the waffles from sticking and will help them get crispy. Use a silicone brush and brush oil on the heated waffle maker before pouring the waffle batter on.

Do not peek! It might be tempting to open the waffle maker to check on them, but that is not good for making the perfect waffle. Wait the full cook time before opening the waffle maker.

How to Make Waffles for a large group of people

If you are like me, when you are making waffles you have a bunch of people who are hungry at the same time. We all know that no one likes to eat cold waffles, so I use my little oven trick to keep everyone’s waffles warm so we can enjoy breakfast together.

Just place them on a wire rack in your oven at 200 degrees. Do NOT Stack them! This will keep them hot until everyone’s waffles are doing being made.

What to Serve with Homemade Waffles

As far as side dishes for waffles, the list is basically endless. Anything that counts as a breakfast recipe will work as a side dish for waffles. I try to make a balanced meal when I am serving waffles, we have lots of easy breakfast side dishes that we go to when we make waffles for breakfast:

• Bacon – we love brown sugar bacon
• Sausage
• Canadian Bacon
• Scrapple
• Pork Roll
• Eggs
• Fruit Salad
• Applesauce
• Fruit Salad
• Fresh Fruit
• Smoothie Bowl

Can you freeze birthday waffles?

It is easy to freeze waffles. Let the waffles cool and then wrap each waffle individually with plastic wrap. Place wrapped waffles into a freezer bag and zip shut. Place waffles in the freezer. They will stay fresh for about 2 months in the freezer. However, mine tend not to last that long because everyone eats them. LOL.

To cook your waffles from the freezer, just pop them in the toaster in the morning when you want to eat them.
