Good to know

Chef's tip

Let the batter rest for at least 30 min: the starch hydrates and the yeast works better → softer, airier waffles ✨

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Cooked waffles up to 1 month, wrapped individually. Reheat straight from frozen.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Cooked waffles quickly lose their crispness, not recommended.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The batter keeps 24h max in the fridge in an airtight container.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat in the toaster, oven (5 min at 180°C), or air fryer (3-4 min at 160°C) for crispness. Microwave not recommended.

Variations

Top with whipped cream, berries or powdered sugar.
Add vanilla to the batter.
Serve for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

Mistakes to avoid

Skipping the rest: let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
Not preheating the waffle iron.
Undercooking: 3 to 4 minutes until the waffle is golden.
