💡 Chef tips
- To keep finished waffles warm and crispy while you cook the rest, place them in a single layer on a wire rack inside a 200°F (90°C) oven.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick weekday breakfast.
- You can easily substitute almond milk or oat milk and use plant-based oil to make this recipe completely pareve.
