Tips for Perfect Waffles

• Don’t Overmix: If the waffles are overmixed, their texture may become dense. Therefore, mix just enough to combine all the ingredients to get a light and fluffy texture.
• Preheat Properly: Make sure the waffle iron is thoroughly hot before pouring the batter into the waffle maker. This makes the outer layer of the waffles crispy.
• Keep Waffles Warm: When the waffles are cooked, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 200 °F (95 °C) until they are ready to serve.
• Experiment with Flavors: If you enjoy a taste of something different, try replacing extracts with anything from almond to maple or spices, nutmeg to cardamom, for an extra-decadent flavor.
• Make Ahead: You can mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and store in an airtight container. Add wet ingredients only right before cooking.
• Customize: You can add chocolate chips, almonds or spices (cinnamon etc) to make it more special at your preference.
• Freezing: Make a large batch and then freeze the leftover waffles! On busy mornings, you can make a quick breakfast by throwing them in the toaster or toaster oven.

3. Then whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl.

7. Fry until golden brown. Just before serving, put them on a wire rack so they don’t get soggy.
