# How To Make It:

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The exterior shatters beautifully when you cut into it while staying impossibly tender inside
  • They freeze exceptionally well, meaning you can have homemade waffles on busy weekdays
02 -
  • Overmixed batter makes tough waffles, so stop stirring as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking makes them even more tender
03 -
  • Separate your eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them in for incredibly fluffy waffles
  • Buttermilk instead of regular milk adds tang and extra tenderness to the crumb
