Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the waffle batter.
• If you don't have a waffle iron, you can make pancakes instead. Simply pour the batter onto a hot griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the waffles hot, straight from the waffle iron.
• You can top them with additional caramel sauce or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
• Pair them with a side of bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast or brunch.
