Tips to follow for this waffle recipe

Substitute buttermilk

If you can’t find buttermilk, you can use milk instead. Just squeeze some lemon in it and give a nice, quick stir.

Separate eggs for fluffy waffles

For fluffy waffles, separate egg whites from the yoke and beat the white until it turns creamy. Then add this white to the waffle batter.

Keep waffles warm

Preheat the oven to 225°F and place a baking pan in it. As you finish making a waffle, place it directly in the pan before you start making another one.
