Preheat Your Waffle Iron Properly – A hot waffle iron ensures even cooking and crispiness from the start. Let it heat for at least 5 minutes before adding the batter.
Separate and Whip the Egg Whites – For extra light and crispy waffles, separate the eggs and whip the whites into stiff peaks before folding them into the batter.
Use Cornstarch in the Batter – Adding cornstarch (about 1/4 cup per 1 cup flour) helps absorb moisture and creates a crispier texture.
Cook on High Heat Without Peeking – Set your waffle maker to the highest heat and resist the urge to open it too soon—this allows full crisping.
inish in the Oven (The Game-Changer!) – After cooking, place waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven for 5-10 minutes. This keeps them warm without getting soggy.
Skip the Stack – Avoid stacking waffles, as steam gets trapped and softens them. Instead, place them in a single layer to maintain crispiness.
Follow this extra step, and you’ll enjoy perfectly crispy waffles every time! 🧇😋 Want some topping ideas?
