Here are some tips to help you make the best waffles possible:

 

Preheat your waffle iron: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter. This will help your waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.

 

Use room temperature ingredients: Let your eggs, butter, and milk come to room temperature before using them in the recipe. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and result in fluffier waffles.

 

Don't overmix the batter: Mix the batter until just combined, with some lumps remaining. Overmixing the batter can make your waffles tough and dense.

 

Measure your ingredients carefully: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure you're adding the correct amount of each ingredient. Measuring by weight is even more accurate, but measuring by volume is just fine.

 

Experiment with toppings: Waffles are a blank canvas for all sorts of fun toppings! Try fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, honey, pistachio, spicy cowboy preserves, or even savory toppings like fried chicken, crispy bacon, apple sausages, creamy cheese.

 

Use a non-stick waffle iron or grease the plates: To prevent your waffles from sticking to the waffle iron, make sure you're using a non-stick waffle iron or grease the plates with cooking spray or butter.

 

Keep an eye on the cook time: Cook your waffles until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside, but not overcooked. Each waffle iron is different, so be sure to check the cook time according to the instructions for your specific waffle iron.

 

Don't stack your waffles: To prevent your waffles from getting soggy, don't stack them on top of each other while they're still hot. Instead, place them in a single layer on a wire rack to cool and crisp up.

  

Here are some tips for making savory stuffed waffles:

 

Add savory ingredients to the batter: Mix in savory ingredients like grated cheese, chopped microgreens (such as broccoli or brassica), diced ham or bacon, or even sautéed veggies (such as onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers) into your waffle batter.

 

Top with savory ingredients: After your waffles are cooked, top them with savory ingredients like scrambled eggs, sliced avocado, sautéed spinach, crumbled sausage, or even a drizzle of hollandaise sauce.

 

Play with spices: Experiment with adding different spices to your waffle batter, such as smoked paprika, cumin, or garlic powder, to give your waffles a savory kick.

 

Use different flours: Try using different flours, like cornmeal or chickpea flour, in your waffle batter to give your waffles a unique texture and flavor.

 

Get creative: Don't be afraid to get creative with your savory waffles! Try making waffle "sandwiches" with different fillings, or using your waffles as a base for a breakfast pizza.

 

By adding savory ingredients to your waffle batter and topping them with your favorite savory toppings, you can create a delicious and satisfying breakfast or brunch option that's sure to please.
