# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The edges get impossibly crisp while staying fluffy inside, exactly how a waffle should be
  • They're deceptively simple but make everyone feel special and cared for
02 -
  • Overmixing creates tough waffles, undermixing creates tender ones, stop when streaks just disappear
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes makes fluffier waffles, the flour needs time to hydrate properly
03 -
  • Separate your eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for restaurant-style fluffiness
  • Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry mix for waffles that stay crisp longer
