Notes

  • Check the sodium label on your baking powder, milk, and other packaged ingredients.
  • The first waffle can be used to adjust cooking time for your waffle maker.
  • Do not overmix the batter or the waffles may become dense.
  • Keep cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them immediately if you want them crisp.
  • For a different flavor, add cinnamon, lemon zest, or mashed banana.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store cooled waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze completely cooled waffles in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
