Notes

This recipe was originally published in 2015, and republished in 2019 with updated photos and an updated recipe yield. This batter makes 4 standard waffles, but this can vary depending on the size of your waffle iron.

Storing Tips:

Refrigerator: Transfer waffles to an airtight container or sealable bag, and store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Flash-freeze the waffles on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once hard, transfer them to a sealable bag or freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
To Serve: Reheat fresh or frozen waffles in a toaster or toaster oven just until heated through. You can also pop thawed waffles in the microwave, but they won’t be as crisp!
