Good to know

Chef's tip

🍓🍯 Add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the batter for an aromatic touch. For even crispier waffles, let the batter rest 30 minutes before cooking. Serve them with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup or melted chocolate for an extra treat! 🍊🍫

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Cooked waffles, up to 2 months in freezer bags, separated by parchment paper.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Batter: keeps 24h max in an airtight bottle in the fridge. Cooked waffles: 1 day max in an airtight container in the fridge, they lose their crispiness.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The batter can be made the day before and kept refrigerated.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven (180°C, 5-7 min) or toaster to get the crispiness back. Air fryer (160°C, 3-5 min). Microwave not recommended (softens).

Variations

Serve with whipped cream, melted chocolate or chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or some orange zest to the batter.
Top with fresh seasonal fruit.

Mistakes to avoid

Using a waffle iron that isn't hot enough: the waffles stick and stay pale. Preheat it well.
Opening the waffle iron too soon: the waffle tears. Wait until it is golden and crispy.
Using too much batter: it overflows. One ladleful is enough for each waffle.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to grease the waffle iron?

Often yes, lightly, especially for the first waffles, if your waffle iron isn't nonstick. A little melted butter or oil brushed on is enough. The following waffles release more easily.

How do you get crispy waffles?

Preheat the waffle iron well and cook for about 5 minutes, until the waffles are deep golden. Serve them hot, straight from the iron, otherwise steam softens them if you stack them.

Can you make the waffle batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the batter a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Whisk it before using. If it has thickened, add a little milk to get a smooth consistency back.

What should you top waffles with?

Powdered sugar is enough, but strawberries, raspberries and blackberries with a drizzle of maple syrup are delicious. You can also add whipped cream, melted chocolate, compote or a scoop of ice cream.
