Cook’s Note
These waffles freeze beautifully. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Flash-freeze the waffles for 30 minutes. Place frozen waffles in a freezer bag. Toast individually frozen waffles in a toaster oven for 5 minutes.
Before serving, place cooked waffles on paper towels to avoid sogginess.
