How to Make Crispy Waffles

While some of the same essential ingredients, such as eggs, milk, and flour, are used in both waffle and pancake recipes, the batters are not the same. Waffles usually have more fat and sugar than pancakes. The fat helps to make waffles crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The extra sugar leads to more caramelization, resulting in waffles that are golden and crispy on the outside.

We eat them plain or with banana slices, fresh fruits, chopped nuts, and maple syrup on top. Simple fresh fruit is one of the simplest and most delicious waffle toppings. You can substitute standard milk for buttermilk if you don’t have any on hand.

If you have some leftovers, freeze them in Ziplock bags and reheat them throughout the week. You can reheat them in the toaster on the light setting and they’ll come out almost as good as fresh.
